Alan Lucien Øyen - Still Life
Description
"When we say we've lost our connection with Nature, we're saying we've lost our connection with ourselves." The words of landscape photographer Andy Goldsworthy resonate like an echo in Still Life, a new work by Norwegian choreographer and director Alan Lucien Øyen, dominated by theater, dance, poetry, and beauty. In front of a painted landscape, dancers Daniel Proietto and Mirai Moriyama move, harmoniously integrating Western contemporary dance and butoh. A meditation on the ever-increasing distance between the world and the people who inhabit it, Still Life delves into the human mind in search of images capable of narrating the relationship that humans have with themselves, others, and the surrounding nature.
