PASSION

2024

RELEASE

“PASSION”, uma obra intensa e provocativa. Com 35 minutos de duração, esta performance física conduzida por Edith Buttingsrud Pedersen convida os espectadores a explorarem questões profundas sobre identidade, coragem e a busca pela essência humana. Edith compartilha suas reflexões sobre o processo de criação de “Passion”, oferecendo uma visão única e comovente sobre a jornada artística e emocional por trás da obra.  “Durante o processo de criação de ‘Passion’, o elenco da Companhia Cisne Negro e eu buscamos maneiras de nos vermos como corpos de matéria branca e massa sem preconceito e avaliação. Perguntamos a nós mesmos: o que resta quando perdemos nosso eu e ego? Como podemos encontrar coragem para permanecer perdidos?” explica Edith Buttingsrud Pedersen.
