Have you ever laid awake through the night with someone by your side, without “anything” happening between the two of you? And rose in the morning to a changed world inside nonetheless?
A girl busy with her drawing and a boy recreate this strange, dream-like state of two people just staring at each other. The dance performance is inspired by the eponymous poem by Sándor Weöres, a poetic vision that is free-ranging, erratic and unfettered by rules, as Weöres’s poetry often is.
The Animata software — a work in progress developed by Bence Samu since 2007 — has been instrumental in breathing life into the objects and figures created by the girl as she draws them on stage. The projected world and the dancers thus enter an entirely bizarre, surrealistic relationship whereby the drawn lines are personified to engage and interact with the live actors.
The performance is free of any language boundaries.
