A dance fable inspired by images of the Creation
Solo by Tanya Khabarova
Somewhere between light and darkness there is a secret space known only to the Creator......

Where the first stirrings of life develop the passion to prolong and to immortalize, to surpass all levels of human existence...

Where illusions turn to meaning, a simple apple is filled with pain and sweetness, and all creatures whose souls know no peace reside...

Where strife horribly twists the harmonious balance of the world into a tough knot that ultimately bursts apart into a myriad of separate pieces, and the screams of the banished are hushed by the thunder of breathlessness...

Where there is no escape from the emptiness of frailty, and the inner bird of dreams does not take flight...

...But where unsurpassed tranquility and joy reign within the simple greatness of nature, and where the aspirations of all humanity lead towards one song and one song only - the mysterious song of Love.

A founder-member of DEREVO, and one of Russia’s most original dancers, Tanya Khabarova brings her experimental and extraordinarily honest work to the stage.
