“Goddesses, farewell. I shall see the shade you became”

The piece inspired by the prelude to “ Afternoon of a Faun”. The work refers to the iconic references drawn from the poem of Stéphane Mallarmé, the music of the composer Claude Debussy, and the ballet of Nijinsky. The work celebrates nostalgia and history, instincts, sexuality, fantasy and breaks perceptions regarding the historical impact that Nijinsky’s work from 1912 caused .

the nymphs and the fauns integrate into each other to celebrate passion, an imaginary landscape, an aesthetic world, a movement treasure that communicates in spirit with the three works.

D E M O N S – An Epos of Twilight Zone Calibration / The First Chapter

In our Rock Dance and Village Chant, we return to assemble and gather more wombs for our gang of Iron She-Devils. The moment of choice, the coronation, traverses our timeline once more. Who will fight for us, for you? Welding her heart’s blood with gold, imbued with pathos, charged with pride; She will become the marrow of her bones against her own skeleton.

Here is where the songs and dances of a tale flow from and initiate the vocal rituals and folklore inspired by the eastern country of the Black Coast: Georgia and a parallel universe originated from imagination.

We owe it to the history written in blood.

Lucid

I dream that I and two other friends are dancing in a big square,
Around us many people are sitting and looking at us.
We can’t stop reciting our stories, and the stories trap us inside them.
I am looking for a way out of the trap and see that my friends are also in the same situation.
I look at the people sitting around and observe that they also have many stories in their heads.

Suddenly the stories become a huge bird and I fly high with it. I forget what happened to me and just see a lot of similar people from above and wake up.
