THE NUMBER OF AUDIENCE RESTRICTED. One person will enter the labyrinth every two minutes. There will be signs and various options to choose.
Olga Žitluhina dance company, band “Dzelzs Vilks” and stage designer Reinis Suhanovs will create a process format performance in “Riga art space”. It will last a certain period of time and take spectators through a labyrinth of moments.
Images whir past the eyes, sounds whiz past the ears, they change and disappear, but there are things that stay in the memory even contradictory to logic and calculations. Offering one option is not important, since it will never grant everyone what is desired. Bright flashes and touches right next to moments of silence, emptiness, darkness, gaps, numbness and forgetting oneself that, whether you want it or not, make imagination create a lasting image and value. It is not us who make the choices. We can refrain from dancing, from playing, from creating a space for that, from turning on the lights, from coming here at all. You will feel it anyway.
It was not us who turned off the light. Even the most attentive people lose about 23 minutes of visual information every day when blinking their eyes (covering their eyeballs with liquid from lachrymal glands). Tears are not water, they are a part of blood circulation system. In the brief moments of darkness tears supply the eyes with oxygen and nutrients. In darkness that feeds and lets breathe and deprives of visual information. Deprives of the possibility to see time. Moment A becomes moment B without movement. 14 000 times a day tears flow into blood circulation system and the flow of time becomes disjointed like preliminary stitching. Smiles of darkness, fists of darkness, threats and pleas of darkness. I don’t know a thing, I was busy with the blood circulation.
Ears are not moisturised or nourished. Tears only penetrate them when lying on one’s back. There is no natural mechanism of “signal / no signal”. You hear time passing, you hear brakes not getting there in time, you hear earplugs hurrying too late. Watch the news and blink your eyes as much as you want, nothing changes.
