LUCKY TRIMMER Tanz Performance Serie # 24
TWILIGHT recalls the origin of human art in the spirit of experimental avant-garde to investigate the reality beyond dualism that modern science cannot approach.
Around 100,000 years ago, when Homo sapiens emerged, the initial human art emerged in the cave. What they were experiencing in the darkness was the depth of our unconsciousness. This is an universal principal of human art.
We are living in a society where our innermost nature is deeply buried. Modern science solely relies on the intellectual rationality based on mathematics and language, and yet it misses direct experience of body and mind. Logical rationality approaches the world by dividing it into separated pieces, while direct experience of the body and mind reveal the unconscious, and it connects between contradicted elements beyond logic: human is animal, life is death, subject is object, I am you.
Where the limitation of modern science lies, the great role of dance is there to gain wider understanding of human beings. TWILIGHT recalls the origin of human art and experiments with a new dance method to dig within the depth of us through the subtlest movement within.
