Experiencing Interruptions?

Prosa

Description:
Prosa is a sensual poetic story representing an “amalgamation of souls” - expression used to describe a deep emotional, intellectual & spiritual connection between the people. Invisible unity that is reflected in interpersonal behaviour. This bond is not subject to external factors, as it is metaphysical, it can never be destroyed, not in distress, not in grief, nor amidst the war.

Director Statement

After a year of life-changing events in Ukraine, filled with grief, sorrow and uncertainty - communicating how people feel became somewhat a form of national healing.

So when an idea of visually representing a spectrum of emotions through a dance came around for “Prosa” - it was no doubt it has to be contemporary choreography. Blended with the visceral feeling of 16mm film, it is a key that unveils an entire world inside a person.
