WHAT IS LOVE is a dance-based exploration of the concept of love in ancient times; an examination of the nature and essence of love.
What is it all about when we love and fall in love? What is the aim? What happens inside the person? How does it feel? Who and what is Eros? What is desire?
Love is a concept that has been trivialised, over-sweetened and devalued, making it easy to sell just about anything in its name. This work seeks to capture the philosophical dimension of love. Why is love a primal force, and what might be its foundation and ultimate goal?
The language of the performance is dance, movement, music, song, sound, speech and silence.
