Ave Ever
Worship of eternity
In exclamation of "Ave" there is an ambiguity, it used both in a prayer, and in Caesar's greeting the gladiators going to death. A combination of opposite meanings in one word as reflection of duality of the world and the person. The dance where there is no conflict between the good and evil where there is an equivalence of concepts and phenomena, and the body remembers everything and is everything.
The premiere has been within the competition "Context. Diana Vishneva" on October 17, 2018.
Duration: 10 min.
Choreographer: Anna Shchekleina
Performers: Evgenia Turushkina, Aleksandr Frolov
