Siena

I remember the desire to pause.

Just to wait a see what’s happening to me.

The romantic picture hangs at the back of the stage, still, paused.But i can look and look and keep looking and find more and more, as the text and dancers display, even when the image of life is still, im still moving i am still living, i am not able to pause.

The object fights back. Eventually the object always fights back. You think you know the object but one day is fails it does not produce your expectations. The world seams wrong, if i could only pause for a second to grasp what is happening. It slips it slides it resists being true, being truth.

The bodies are acting like the objects which escape. The bodies are dysfunctional, absurd. This is telling as a hospital bed wheels past the doorway again. The body is dying and yet we have no time to understand why.

There is something behind the picture. The broken commodity. A question of value and function.

Nude naked truth, yet even if all the hair is removed one doesn’t see more, in fact mostly one sees less. Truth is hidden we need to hide to close our eyes to see it, to enter into darkness, to see nothing if we truly want to see truth.

As the shadows dance the last dance of death.

Thank you La Veronal, thank you dans<3 stockholm.

The festival has begun, the dream is out there dance is taking over Stockholm culture, you cant hide its out there to get you. Its a beautiful site to see dance venture beyond its community not as a belittling gesture of "here let us help you understand" but as a full blown "THIS IS DANCE,,,, DEAL WITH IT" i love it. Thank you dans <3 stockholm, Thank you Eva Broberg, thank you Dansens Hus, thank you for keeping it real for the kids on the street.
