"ABEL"
A solo piece by Tamar Borer
In collaboration with TEDER MUSIC- Gal Tushia & David Ovadia.
The work is inspired by the book “The Narrow Way to OKU”: A traveling dairy written by the great Japanese poet Mazuo Basho about a journey that he made to the northern part of the main land Bonshu.
The book combines short stories with haiku poems. “ABEL was covered with mist, and the snow remained white”
The dance is a Butoh dance- soul dance that expresses the inner states of mind of the dancer, always transforming according to changes in perspective to inner time and space.
The live music is based on vibrations of sounds that molt into thick layered ambient, creating a constant dialogue with the motion and voices that emerge from the dancer.
The stage is covered with “a mist” of white powder, upon which the dancer blows “clouds” of white powder and, with her motion in space, leaves marks, paths and tracks that creates an imaginary landscape of an unknown, out of time place.
Duration: 20 min.
“In Tamar Borer’s work there is a unique atmosphere of poetry in space, a minimalism that is both dictated and a voluntary choice. Something that reminds one of Japanese Haiku poetry, where the little contains the much.” Giora Manor
