LIMINAL BEAUTY

Liminal Beauty is a performance based on the Nobel laureate, Elfriede Jelinek’s feminist drama “Sleeping Beauty.” The drama describes Sleeping Beauty’s subjective experience of being a prisoner in a liminal state between life and death and wakefulness and sleep. The performance uses the play to address important metaphysical questions about the constitution of reality through movement and dialogues between film, dance and music. In order to investigate these questions, the performer uses bodily movements on stage and projected moving images that examine what it means to be trapped, in limbo, between different bodily stages. The use of film, dance and live music allows her, as well the audience, to get a different understanding how the mysteries of the human condition and the potential of the human body. The solo was developed as a part of the project The Liminal.
