ESZME-FÜGE-MU: reburn a cathedral
First the rainforests of Amazonia got on fire. Than Australia, than
Ukraine, California, Greece. The Notre Dame de Paris. Than corona, than
Ukraine again, in a different way. Black Lives Matter, protests in Minsk,
demonstrations against abortion law in Poland, FreeSZFE and strike for
the teachers in Hungary.
The same riot that appears as different conflagrations in nature, is
present in society. As fire eats up merciless everything that gets in its
way, revolution is to destroy the old structures before it can rebuild the
new ones. Whether it happens in nature, in society or in the soul of one
person, burning and rebuilding follows each other constantly.
Through the abstract language of contemporary dance combined with
puppetry, the piece studies the reminiscences of endless rebuilding after
the traumas of destruction.
Schedule
In the last years we could experience a lot of different affects that obliged us to
reconsider our previous ways of existence. Fires, resistance movements, a pandemic
than a war... The piece studies the process of destruction and the following rebuilding
through the new language of physical puppet theatre born from the merge of
contemporary dance and puppetry.
The aim of the piece is to create a free flow of associations based on the mentioned
topics. Instead of using language or narrativity it focuses on visuality and the sensual
perception, through the new language of physical puppetry, born from the merge of
contemporary dance and puppet theatre.
