Spiritual Warriors

The Spiritual Warriors evening grouped five solos choreographed by Carolyn Carlson…
Man in a room – Tero Saarinen, creation for the Venice Biennale in 2000
Architect of ideas, he makes time his own / crazy about the colours of his world / mirror of a space in which the coincidences of shapes / are marks left on his body / imprints of a moment scrutinised / indelible in his memory.
La parola dell’acqua – Talia Paz, creation for the Venice Biennale in 1999
In my throat runs a water / whose taste I do not feel / My thirst does not contemplate the dream / that beats between the sand / and the fingers of the ocean.
Il freddo dell’acqua – Nina Hyvärinen, creation for the Venice Biennale in 1999
Women of the Northern lights / of the earth where ice melts into sky / where the cold of water / is the dwelling place of the winter bird / in its perfectly motionless flight / its wings stiff with cold / it crosses the threshold / of the ancient moons.
Kan (Prisoners of freedom) – Yutaka Take, 2001 creation for the Maison de la Danse
A time / A mountain rising up, there / A sudden shape projected onto its immobility / A rumbling in the grass / The time after / A mountain teeters and falls / A man high in the sky flies / The silence speaks of emptiness / Falling, rising again, for ever.
Il vuoto dell’acqua – Carolyn Carlson, for the Venice Biennale in 1999
A place made of stone and water / an empty wave / that swells, breaks / and is born again in the middle of the night in Venice.
