Clarobscur

This piece was choreographed by Anna Rubio for Poesia als Parcs, with the support of the European cultural programme Frontiers in Retreat. It was set to music by the violinist Christian Risgaard from Denmark. It took place on the 15th of June 2014 around the villages of Farrera and Alendo.
The first part, lasting eight minutes, was enacted in a grove of cherry trees near the village of Farrera, and the second part took place at the hermitage church of Alendo, and lasted for five minutes.

What are these bonds which trap me in this false nest? Who is this fragile tree which fights to find the light but my own self? These hidden fears, these limits………I am trapped by myself. I look around and I fall yet again. How can I detach myself? I want to be light, to fill this darkness of mine with light.
I will leave the forest and go to a meadow. Once there I will move closer to the hermitage church and to the light … lighter, each time lighter.
