Black Rain
Helge Letonja
Water runs down oversized windows and feeds the agonizing longing for torrent rain to break the ongoing paralysis. In a silent film-like setting, Of Curious Nature plunges into a melancholic daydream whose images take on a surrealistic life of their own. The difference between outside and inside gets blurred. People seem to be stuck, their actions come to nothing, disturbing and touching in their absurdity.
A hint of nostalgia and regret is in the air. And above all hovers the question: What loss is actually being lamented here, if nothing can be retained anyway?
Helge Letonja, artistic director of Of Curious Nature, have initiated a long-term artistic exchange between their ensembles, enabling guest choreographies and guest performances in Malta and Bremen.
