cie. toula limnaios

»miles mysteries« is inspired by goya’s late etchings. originated towards the end of his life when he was sick, his “black pictures” are timeless and omnipresent because we find ourselves in a mirror.
the piece is not a choreographic staging of his pictures, but an encounter on the traces of the human condition. Rage, disappointment, hopelessness, fear, melancholy and dreams held back in piles up and discharge in a cry. when normality and insanity are reversed, the height rises enormously, in no country, mysterious and yet no less real, populated by figures on the threshold between norm and delusion, light and shadow, appearance and disappearance – a vision of the bizarre.
