Corbul

The artist as a prophet, a poet, a figure bridging life and death, presence and transcendence, at the same time. The raven, a magical bird and wanderer between worlds in many mythologies and stories.
Re-made for the memory of Gabrela Tudor, whom I've met one single time in my life.


"You'll have to go far, very far and what is ahead you wouldn't know. I remain behind. The pain is to remind of us. From it we will later, when we meet again, if there is a later, recognize each other. The light faded. Has faded. They're coming"


choreography, costume, dance:
Thomas Körtvélyessy
words: Christa Wolf, "Kassandra"
(own English translation)

performed at "Atat de Frageda (so tender)"
in the memory of Gabriela Tudor

the choreography is powerful and a splendid use of light & dark and powerfully simple
