The Song of Songs

This is a production about love fulfilling its own promise, about the need to survive through love, carried by a striking rhythm, by music and by video projection. What is at stake here is the rediscovery of Solomon's words. A performer does something on stage that recalls a line from the Song of Songs, and in doing so rediscovers himself by returning to Solomon's lines. It is a search for the ideal, for the potential in us that has stayed unrealised, unused. The script is made of stories, encounters, relationships, dreams, a labyrinth of people and the search for the real, deep meaning of Solomon's lines, of the dream and of its fulfilment. For in modern society people meet, yet no longer touch one another, no longer bring love about. As you pass through the various events of a life, you hear the Song of Songs quoted inside you, and you answer it according to your experience and to where you stand at that moment.
