REQUIEM

 

REQUIEM is an enchainement of works based on my association with the world of dance and movement.

It touches on grace, nostalgia and displacement. 

It laments the time as ‘my dance’ ceases to be a physical moment of triumph and is transitioning to a distant recollection.

 

Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost – Pina Bausch
