Dance Performance 8

"8" is newly created performance, choreographed and directed by Aleksandra Dragova. Involving 13 young professional dancers, with the aim to expand the dance culture in Bulgaria. The piece is exploring the idea of TIME as an illusion of the mind. An endless cycle of destruction and creation of everything existing, of everything concrete, to remain INFINITE.

THE KEY PHILOSOPHY OF THE PERFORMANCE IS LOCKED IN THE FINAL TRACK, WORDS - REPEATED AS A MANTRA.

 

THE MANTRA IS A SYMBOL OF A SILENT COMMUNICATION, THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE (WITHOUT SIGNIFICANCE OF SPECIES, RACE, RELIGION) TO LIBERATE THE MIND FROM ILLUSIONS, ILLUSIONS OF TIME.

 

THE PERFORMANCE IS DIVIDED INTO 12 PARTS - 12 MONTHS - AS A COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE, IT'S ASSUMED THAT TIME IS CIRCULAR, THAT ALL THINGS RECUR ETERNALLY. EVERY MOMENT IS ETERNAL, TIME IS A FORM OF MOTION IN ETERNITY.

CONTINUOUS REVIVAL OF TIME - THERE IS NO BEGINNING OR END, JUST ONE ENDLESS CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION AND CREATION OF EVERYTHING EXISTING, BUT EVERYTHING

 

CONTINUOUS REVIVAL - THERE IS NO BEGINNING OR END, AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF DESTRUCTION AND CREATION OF EVERYTHING EXISTING, OF EVERYTHING CONCRETE, TO REMAIN INFINITE.
