Here creative forces are put to the test in a ritual celebrating both life and death. The iconic images that emerge in action are not merely the product of excavation and research into ancient times. They’re not a specific result of adulation of ancient gods, goddesses or Yaweh, the one reckless, almighty deity and lawmaker. It’s  a journey, a joyous and painful struggle with the boundaries and limits of our bodies and our existence. We cannot go back to where we came from, no matter how hard we try. We still feel the remorse. That’s why we want to keep on trying. This is a requiem for the human, for all things lost.

Shrine is part of SACRIFICE – a festival of common things made holy.

SACRIFICE is a collection of works that stress the importance of inspiration, creativity and human contact. They range from performance to installation, from the immersive  to the voyeuristic, from sound to silence. The festival is a journey through various definitions of theatrical presentation and choreography, with particular focus on the human body, its movements and our ways of expression.
