Description of the pieces in the performance
ADDICTION
With the first whiff of a diabolical intoxication, the addiction is bound. Abuse ruins your life and overshadows love. And he who now sees that you have gone astray can never fully understand it, and your life burns out without flame and fire, but no one around you can see it.
But best as your flame is dying, whisper and turn the wind. With a breath, hope flares up, a breakthrough brings warmth and redness to the cheek.
Choreographer: Lua Mayenco, Kristin Bjerkestand, Stefanos Bizas

Musik: Charlotte de Witte
SHOOTING STARS
A little girl, an outcast soul strokes and ignites hope. And the girl is our Achilles' heel: But we must and we must ignite hope, when shooting stars invite us to dance and twinkle and glow high above like Bethlehem's star in radiant brilliance, like heartbeats in our bodies.
For hope, it lurks in the corner of the mind and is carried by the child on sticks, it smolders and glows in all languages and the flames grow and flicker. When we let the fire really take hold, and the fire that grows in the mind, is displaced, the dark night that lives in our innermost being is illuminated.
And notice: There is something special about giving with hope and with joy and is filled with faith and with love, so that no one has to freeze and cry.
