Celestial Sorrow
Meg Stuart & Jompet Kuswidananto / Damaged Goods
«For many years I’ve been thinking about ghosts as unfinished business and the way in which unresolved conflicts affect both our presence and our movements. Our bodies are constantly shuttling between objects, sounds, lights, voices, and unprocessed events from the past. This might awaken a dormant presence, whether we like it or not.»
Meg Stuart
For «Celestial Sorrow», Meg Stuart collaborates for the first time with Indonesian visual artist Jompet Kuswidananto. Departing from possession and implanted fictional traumas, they create a vibrant world of light and movement, inhabited by three performers and two musicians. Together the group embarks on an exploratory journey, moving through imaginary and invisible spaces, and the voices that make them resonate.
