“A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.” –Thomas Carlyle
Synopsis
Poetry. Art. Dance. Translated by Florin Bican. LEMUR speaks of the grotesque and mutable grace of the body. LEMUR scalds the page and, in so doing, proposes a bold choreography--one of dis-membering and re-membering the human into a new species. In this space, and on this stage, charges of abundance, overflow and fear electrify a milky symbology. The humor of LEMUR is one of sinister relationality, sheer proximity, mutability--a dwelling-in-waste. This dwelling reminds us that our bodies already relate to one another in waste, and that what we long for--to be discarnate--is futile. On the 200th anniversary of Frankenstein, Andra Rotaru's English-language debut fuses the lyric gesture with a Gothic science fiction which bends and distorts syntax and hierarchy, opening up an ethical horizon of mutancy: |a body in delay / foretelling a body unformed.|
