Work introduction
This work was created at a time when I was particularly active as a dancer in competitions. After my own pantomime show, which I organized for children, I had the idea to combine it in a transdisciplinary way. The mime embodies the emotions contained in the music with his facial expressions and gestures. Thus, in addition to the auditory component, namely the music, the spectator also has the visual representation of the most human thing that exists, our emotions!
Since children inspired me to do this, this piece is dedicated to all the children of the world!
What is necessary to perform this work?
There will be a mime artist on stage embodying the music. It is up to him whether he lets himself be surprised by the music spontaneously on stage (there is only one determined scene in the score by the composer where the mime interacts with the accordion player) and improvises or specifically prepares for it by being provided with the audio in advance.
