“I wanted a hedonistic atmosphere in the choreography. Human encounters: waiting, fascination and disappointment as well as an individual’s decisions’ relation to a community were the starting points of my choreography. The polarities of death and sensuality present in the poems of Aloysius Bertrand, which served as an inspiration to the composer, have given the piece and its visuality their own unique spice of weirdness and a dreamlike quality.”
