Still Life After Death
One of the main concepts behind the staging was to develop a neutral awareness in the gestures and movements of performers, allowing them to flow beyond the recognizable and familiar associations. As the lead character-the living- embarks on a ritualistic, spiritual journey towards the end of life, the search to obtain an insight into the great beyond eventually points to the dissolution of self. A fully realized and awakened state sheds physical attachments and maps a way out through the process of acceptance. Matter, mind, perception and consciousness are encouraged by the Monk, the ever-present, undetectable companion. Both roles, essentially representing Life and Death, move in and out of the shadows to change places, but always keeping the balance.
