Heart like the wounded birds

Performance - Playing

A fragmentary story in movement

The first thing to be said about this performance is that it follows the idea (began in the performance The Last Step Before) attempting to connect the light design with the movement and dance inside a theatre space. The lights and the dance create a tightly interconnected and unseparable unity. The resulting form is their mutual relationship of balance in which they come out one from the other and supplement each other. One of the starting points of this work is deformation of the spatial perspective by the light which captures the bodies of the dancers, while, together, these two elements create a ceratin illusion of sensations.

The second thing is the narrative of two bodies of two persons inside the broken fragments lacking any “mechanical” logic which usually directs our thinking, evaluation or identification with something/someone or thanks to which we define ourselves and establish our realtioships with the surrounding world. It is not about a relationship of two persons based on a concrete idea of this relationship. These two – forever rather like one and one is zero – meet in not-meeting. They do not analyse this, perhaps strange anomaly. They do not ponder, ask questions, search for answers explaining the way in which they walk together. They just walk and suspect that it is ok that way.
