SCENES AT DAWNING
An Address to the Spirit of the Times
Between the dream/memory and the crisis of the coming day is the moment when clarity occurs. The truth that emerges as a moment of dawn. “Scenes at Dawn” is an introduction to the current fatigue and constant anxiety through documentary-based scenes and monologues, rapidly changing fragments of memories, dreams, and hopes in their possibility or impossibility. How do I participate in the world as my reality? And what do I call reality? How do I recognize my own feelings in order to legitimize them? What does my ability to feel become? What does what I call “love” become? “Scenes at Dawn” is also an encounter with the unknown in an attempt for closeness and understanding, of oneself and the other. Based on the personal experiences of the team, with texts and provocations in letters by Tsveta Sofronieva, the performance is an oratorio about human helplessness, the fear of losing the person next to us, about longings and illusions, and about the strength and comfort of awakening. So that we can realize the reality we live in and accept or change it.
