A dialogue between an actor and a saxophonist longing for the sun
Emil Aron Dorph
I am walking and I am sweating; there is sweat on my face. The psyche unfolds, like a flower, spreading its petals and allowing itself to be touched by the landscape in which it grows. Like a pattern on a larger tapestry. Endless weavings, warmth and night, a particular frequency of light. We are never truly alone.
SOLAR is a wild physical theatre performance: A hallucinated road trip and a cosmic journey into the reptilian mind. Gravitational forces, supernovas, and the path back to prehistoric times. A sunrise on the beach, lonely and beautiful. A deep, aching longing for warmth, and a story of chasing the light, only to rush into darkness like an animal.
An actor and a saxophonist, two bodies and one breath, pulling you somewhere ancient and electric.
See it before the sun burns out.
