Sūr

Scenario Award Finalist 2005

Shadow Jury Award IV

 

Sūr is the ancient city, suspended in time, disappeared. It is a border town separated from the ground and attached to it by the will and not by nature.
It is a suspended, dreamlike and surreal place.
A scales on stage is the only fixed point, the third element, without which the other two vanish.
It is there to define us and especially to define the relationship between us.
It is there to define the space … right, left, up, down, inside,  outside.
It is the sign of the rational, logical, grounded, linear and it is there to carry out its function: to tell us about  the weight and, above all, to tell us about  things that have no weight.

The work is primarily an analysis of a female form of creative thought.
A knowledge path that does not proceed in a linear way (for developing cause and effect), but in clusters, through  free association.
Sūr is the dream, the not expressed, the censored and repressed.
Sūr, a love story.
