An immersive performance of dance and music which imagines life as a journey in circles
Jennie
The sky, the trees, the plants, the light
It's all moving
and changing every second
-
There comes a time
There comes a time
when all things must die
I would like to live again
the first time
I enjoyed dancing
I would like
to touch
this carpet again and
hear the voice
of my mother
I ask myself
for forgiveness
For the things
I
have
done
to
myself
in the past
I can never forget
But maybe I can forgive.
Let me float
2. Bird
We see the world
from far
And the higher we get
My desire to want burns me out
I always wanted to be a bird
I keep on diving out of
myself deeper
Until I slide into the ground
with my skull
Willa
Tumbling hills in front of me
My feet sink softly deeper
I trace the cracking edges
I’m feeling timeless
Surrounded by whispers playing in the wind
I melt, I disappear
I will no longer be here but
I will grow somewhere else
Hannah
Am I dreaming?
I’m lost in the moment
So light I could leave the ground
Can you hear the whispering?
Sometimes I want to be reckless
To dare, to go for a risk
So here I am
Rebecca
I open my wardrobe. so many clothes,
I don’t remember when I bought them
Floating questions
It’s all about the points –
We are made of so many points
I can’t count them
Are you scared?
3. The ants inside are full of flowers
My breasts look different today
I’m standing in front of a mirror
the moon is still far away
its tiny feet touching my skin
so
softly
I forgot
where I was
in your arms?
with every slight breath through a tunneled eye
the ants inside are full of
flowers
Julia
I’m standing in front of a mirror
Trying to be me
I notice some shadows and the sound
That is not my breath
They sometimes come
And swim in me
If it rains, they leave
When I get dry, they break in
The lake I am
Is like hiding forever and never being found
Nina
Made of delicacy and inconsistence,
Soft and strong
In constant danger of tearing apart
It’s happening with and without me
To be an observer
My feet are walking away
My eyes are not seeing
But my skin is hearing
Marlen
The earth opens and we fall
We fall and fly at the same time
And we become so slow every detail reveals itself
The air runs through my body
And every cell vibrates in a sense of freedom
I breath. I live. I fall. I fly.
I swirl. I swift. I swizzle and sweep
In the eternal dance.
Katie
Carry me
Not because I want to go anywhere
But because I want to be held
Keep me floating
And enjoy my pain
As you created me into something
I didn’t know I was
4. Dust
I’m standing in front of a mirror
What if I forget everything
It would be
like hiding and forever not being found
The earth opens and we fall
We fall and fly at the same time
Time doesn’t exist anymore
We become so slow
That every detail reveals itself
Sophie
I am no one when I am alone
Please, never leave
Without you there I will turn cold
There comes a time when all things must die
But cycle are circles and circles go round
So things can happen again
Dust. A massive wall of dust
