The Instrument
Eternal Returns
An imagined montage of life; Eternal Returns is a choreographic-theatrical creation unveiling human interactions in their fantastic vulnerability and power. The work delves into contrasts, contradictions and common denominators of the intimate and collective human experience. With drama and irony, the performers investigate the layers below distant alienation as archaeologists; digging under the surface to reveal undercurrents of connectedness. The emotional landscape in the piece is real; the changing characters transcend visions through their actions, compositions and voices. Each manifesto in Eternal Returns is true, they need not agree or disagree. In the premises of the small water reservoir in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg, the audience is offered a performative journey through a multiple-frame maze of our minds, hearts and affinity.
