Flowers

The primordial function of the house is not to orient the being through the architecture of the building and reveal a place – but rather to break the plenitude of the element, to open out the utopia in which the “I” engages with itself by remaining at home.

Emmanuel Levinas, Totalité et Infini

The task of Flowers is to make visible that inner house, those intimate spaces, to reveal that inner luminosity, as borne by the performers.Flowers is an organic, polymorphic ‘landscape-piece’ in which the ‘temporal’ dimensions of the being and their representations in space (memories, evocations, projections, constructions, dreams, rituals, ghosts, chimera, etc.) are dilated and contracted.A space, truncated by light, by the actions of matter, by aural textures, creating other centres on the periphery, breaking symmetries, from the rigidity of the stage to the litheness of the bodies.
