Cent mille
façons de Parler
premiere, 26 November, 2021 - Espaces Des Arts, Chalon-Sur-Soâne
Cent Mille Façons de Parler is inspired by the love poems of the Persian poet Jalal Al-Dīn Rūmī. Away from the sublime and the romantic conceptions of love, this work acknowledges love as an action of being, a force of presence and a drive for change. A moment of creation that carries within itself another moment of destruction and collapse. Love is at its extreme, in its becoming a drive. Motivation is courage, it is the ability to be with one another, to trust the process and go through the realm of life that is 'the continuously shifting and spiraling'.
