LAVA Collective - La Despedida
Inspired by the comforting cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach, choreographer Patricia van Deutekom presents La Despedida as a contemporary requiem with a strong autobiographical slant. La Despedida -literally meaning: the moment of saying goodbye- is in everything that exists. Situations where saying goodbye plays a role are countless. The farewell to the day, a journey that comes to an end, a phase of life that is suddenly no more, loved ones that disappear and the giving up of desires, hopes and dreams. On April 6 at VU Griffioen!
LAVA Collective - La Despedida
La Despedida
is a search for the basis, the story and the power that lie behind the emotion of sadness and the action and reaction of saying goodbye. A thoughtful performance in which inner emotions run wild and love triumphs. A physical and musical explosion, but also a realistic representation of vulnerability in the different phases of saying goodbye. About the finite and infinite. About winning and losing, saving and being shattered, carrying and being carried. About the power of the mind that takes over when the body gives up. About light, love and letting go. A new beginning.
