Lilii Borea
A performance in two parts
The first part of the performance Lilii Borea tells of the first encounters between a woman and a man and the conflict they feel. The search for intensity and passion, alongside the wish for autonomy and freedom, forms a contradiction that seemingly can only be resolved by the death of the beloved and the lasting memory of him.
The second part shows, in twenty-one sequences, the lives of several people in a city of the near future. The destruction of nature is far advanced: waters, seas and landscapes are barren, women and men infertile and corrupted by hatred, malice and violence. Alongside this, the protagonists’ longing for truthfulness and simple existence despite the apocalyptic situation: the dream of a child, the rescue of a dog – embodiments of the last intact beings in the world – and an answer from the stars.
