Echoes

ME-SA

A dance site-specific project from the background of a Jewish synagogue freely inspired by Sylvie Plath.

Echoes in the Synagogue in Palmovka or else sensitivity
“Scarcely ever the term site-specific was fulfilled like in the performance Echoes. (…) Three female dancers showed an extraordinary sensitivity during their raising ghosts of the past – the memories of the synagogue´s walls and of the texts by Sylvia Plathová. The dancers managed to hold up in the air the web of complex kinship among dancing and breathing girl´s body, the skin of the walls, which possess tenacious memory, the after death texts by the tragic poet and musical performance of the good-looking young woman (Gabriela Vermelho) and they presented it all in a kind of invisibly vibrant airy network, which is still not torn to pieces.” (Nina Vangeli)
