ONE DAY THREE AUTUMNS
Mapdance performs a diverse repertoire. In the year 2018, the company commissioned new works from Niv Sheinfeld & Oren Laor (Israel), Laila Diallo (UK), Helen Parlor (UK), and Laura Aris Alvarez (Belgium/Spain), offering a refreshing mixture of dance theatre, intricate lyrical choreography, fast-paced athleticism, and wry humour.
The opening night was on February 27th, 2018, at Night Cathedral in Chichester. ““Any artistic encounter can become a revealing experience, an implosive or explosive experience. It can feel like a slap in the face or be as liberating as breath. I’m not only talking about the relationship between the performance and its audience, but also the dynamic created between the choreographer and the performers during a creative process.””
One Day Three Autumns is a performance reflecting today's society’s discord with nature. This working frame allowed us to point out a topic that, unfortunately, is reiterative in the history of humankind: Power and Conflict. If our limits can become art, then we insist on attempting to do so, constructing particular poetics to explore a universal theme but commenting on a hot topic, the unsustainable use of disposable plastics and its grievous consequences.
There is nothing as dull as emotional inertia. Nothing is as fascinating as witnessing someone find a solution to a problem.
