“...An exalter of the idyllic country life I shall not become... Here stands a grave and cool figure of life, forbidding games, forbidding dreams – yet real, relentless, rigorous...“ (I.G. Diary of the Soul, 1885)
A dance solo inspired by the poetry and life of Czech poet Irma Geisslová. Through transformations of one woman using mute word, the voice of dance and videographology, this performance takes a moment to look for connections between women at the turn of different centuries.
Somebody once told me that I live in the last century. So I told myself not to be ironic and I took a look at that time. In order to be able to do so, I had to learn to stop myself. One of things that helped me do so were the poems of Irma Geisslová. Stopping for a minute and becoming aware of oneself, just for a few seconds, an historical compression, a feeling, and experience taking from looking back into the past, a past I may even have lived and which probalbly influences my present-day experience. (Bára Latálová)
