“I was conscious about the impossibility of creating a work in dance from this literary masterpiece, yet this difficulty was the key to approaching and creating something completely new. A dance that can only exist here. Without any use of the text, a pure dance piece. Not just impersonating the character related to the original text, but the embodiment of the movement existing within the words. Silent voices heard between the words, screams and moans, murmurs and whispers all become movement and dance. Coming from within and moving the body. The dance of a life moving in the form of a human body. A body without answers that keeps questioning life through continuous movement. The power of silent voices and a noisy body are the structure of the inner work. The Idiot told by the body and not by words.” Saburo Teshigawara
