Blueberry Burdock
A surreal journey into the complexities of the lived experience
Selected performance by the new classics-foundation
(Uudet klassikot 2024)
A VISUALLY ENCHANTING LIMBO CREATED FROM THE OVERABUNDANCE OF LITERAL AND METAPHORICAL DIRECTIONS
Blueberry burdock is a journey to the overabundance of options where contradictions and inner conflicts manifest in vivid displays. Within this symbolic landscape of existence, the performer becomes entangled in conflicting signposts and constructs a room of moving walls and half-objects. A puzzle that embodies the intricate tapestry of human experience and a representation of a fragmented reality.
Expressed through a combination of visual theatre, object manipulation, and comical absurdity, Blueberry Burdock dances playfully in a place of limbo.
The performance inspires a newfound appreciation for life’s intricacies. Encouraging the audience to embrace the complexity of their lived experiences and celebrate the beautiful enigma of existence.
