PRAYER – in 7 Parts
Through a biblical connection of the world -the seven days of creation, seven days and seven nights- and the forms of a modern ritual’s movements, the performance approaches the issue of prayer in seven scenes, seven different settings which are combined and separated by dualistic schemes such as light and darkness, chaos and order, up and down, inside a world made up of earth and sky.
