Trust Kalpanarts

Kalpanarts comes with a brand new production Trust . Trust unravels the complexity of trust in all its facets. Trust is the core of our existence, determining our relationships and our outlook on life. But what does trust really mean? Do we dare to surrender to trust in a world where distrust often dominates?

The performance is danced by five dancers and is accompanied by the enchanting voice of the Spanish singer Paloma Lazaro Arteaga. In breathtaking duets, the performers show how trust can be built, broken and regained, while the audience is taken on a journey full of strength and vulnerability.

In Indian philosophy and society, trust is about letting go of the urge to control everything. It requires an inner journey, turning inward to discover your core and strength. Only in this way can you face the world with courageous steps and make well-considered choices. The Hindu concept of Maya, the veil of illusions, and the 'six healing sounds meditation' from Taoism, underlie the choreography.

The visually very attractive performance is completed thanks to a new composition by Simone Giacomini. The rhythm of the Lotus Sutra, the Japanese mantra 'Nam-myoho-rengekyo', is used for the music. The poetry of the Spanish poet Pedro Salinas is used as a metaphor for trust and used as a guideline for singing. But writers such as Isabel Allende (Chile) and Alessandro Baricco (Italy) are also great sources of inspiration. In short, the expression jumps off the stage.
