BARDO
A concept taken from the” Tibetan book of living and of dying”.
BAR= In between DO= Suspension
This is a dialogue between life and death in the course of life.
Death as an awakening aspect in man’s life, a point from which one can be reborn with new realizations, understandings, and abilities.
Three characters appear and disappear along the work. They create an abstract dialogue that exists on three different planes:
The wanderer:
She lives here and now, walks a way that leads her through extreme experiences where she meets her death only to be born anew at each and every end.
The angel:
He lives in the upper worlds, escorts the wanderer along the path of life, challenges and leads her to her death and to her new life.
The voice:
The inner voice of the wanderer that sometimes appears as a fragmented memory and sometimes as a clear and definite intention.
Petrified woods of some millions of years old are spread on stage at different heights and places. Their existence empowers a sense of other time and space.
