Balthazar
A dance piece.
A donkey dies in the midst of a flock of sheep – dazzlingly beautiful, lonely and sublime.
A key scene of a film classic: Robert Bresson’s “Au hasard Balthazar” (1966).
This scene, which isn’t shown, is the departure point.
The dancers become the interface of our own (hi)story. A performance evolves, in which wishes, desires, and hope are buried, and the grief about our lost innocence steps to the fore.
A dance piece about us and life as such.
