Phases of the Moon

Dance piece for 4 dancers and painter.

/50 min./

From the press release: “The performance Phases of the Moon represents a stable fixed structure filled with soft, and at the same time powerful, energy, fluent consciousness and deeply personal attitude of each of the dancers towards the item. Avoiding an excessive immersion by a cosmic theme, a Human becomes a centre of the Universe in this work.

Entirely getting into the exploration of this subject, the dancers only sometimes, and only in their minds, make a run to the periphery of the Universe. But they always come back.

 

The music used in the performance was composed by Ivan Pavlov /COH/ - one of the best and most talented contemporary musician, living in Sweden now, where he creates his magnificently deep and beautiful works and 1 composition by Felix Laband from South Africa. 

Two artists - Misha Khoom and Elena Basova created stage design and costumes.”
