Silence is presented as an escape from a mundane life that is insignificant in the eyes of the universe and desperately seeking significance. “Without Anesthesia” is a choreographic piece inspired by Slovenian poet Aleš Debeljak’s poem about paradoxes. The creative process involved translating his words into dance. In an attempt to discover the rules that affect the feeling of normal, human noise. And the calm of nature, where only being is possible; everything else is empty.
‘It is time. Say what was once already said.
So that there will be no misunderstanding.
Begin where you want.’
