Details
Everyone is familiar with the feeling of shame — intense and chilling, explosive from within yet paralyzing, prompting an urge for immediate action or invoking a desire to hide away. It is agonising for us to feel shame and to speak of it, to be aware of it. A conversation without words, in body language, is the most painless way to take a closer look at this phenomenon and possibly overcome it. The new dance performance by musicAeterna Dance is indeed a conversation, a performance study of the phenomenon of shame. The expressive and corporeal manifestations of shame, as both a social phenomenon and a personal experience, serve as instruments for analysis and a quest for resolution — not merely to get away from the shameful situations that are an inescapable part of our lives, but to break free from the destructive weight of this emotion.
