Syviä Häivähdyksiä, Deep Tinge

In the poem of Stephen Crane, In The Desert, they find a bestial creature eating pleasureful their own bitter heart in the middle of a desert. I instead found a wheelbarrow of freshly cut roses in front of the botanical garden, beautifully blooming, same time dying. For me both these images mix creating the pleasure and pain of vulnerability, the incredible beauty of life, and death which is always there. My wish is to playfully dance it.

A solo performance mixing butoh, dance, performance and poetry.
