Contemporary,
narrower company introduces the performance Soliloquy, which
is also a "comeback" of Debris company after a longer
time. The dramatic dance performance/solo is a short stage adaptation
of the last chapter of a globally famous novel of James Joyce
- Ulysses, made famous by a revolutionary manner of introducing "subconciousness
flow" to
the world of literature - non-punctuational monologue of Molly
Bloom, a concert singer and a wife of an advertising agent from
Ireland, Leopold Bloom.
Free stream of feelings, thoughts, fragments of memory and fantasy of
the state before sleep, mixed with incomes from the real world, are filling
the stage up just like an empty page of Joyces novel in this case. The
literary effect and archetype of this work is an inspiration on its way
to respecting empty pages in an imaginary book, crossed out sentences
and never sung music passages coming instead of words.
Soliloquy is the courtesy to James Joyce, his writing on the edge of
consciousness and subconsciousness, experiment of words and motion, rhythmical
and ritualistic confession in the new age, that we´re surrounded by,
flood of emotions, continuous sadness, loss of context and an eternal
discontent. In the center of our interest was fascination by Mollys womenly
essence and her "burdensome
dream",
or a contemplation in the state before sleep, in the middle of everydays
reality unlike any other day or night wherever else in the world, of
whichever one of us. It x-rays subconsciousness and reality full of little
everyday cataclyzms, dissapointments, jealousy, envy, trifling details
and fluent bigotrys.
