L’Heritage (Heritage)
„The dance play was inspired by Bernard Marie Koltès’s drama and is about a single evening of a family. Unlike the author’s later fabular pieces, Heritage searches for the mysteries of the innermost sounds of the heart and of the subconscious, in which one faces their unsated desires and escapes their self control. After the head of the family is taken by the epidemic, the widow mother puts the responsibility of the the survival of the family on her son. Although the boy is planning an entirely different life with his lover he does not have the strength to resist her mother’s will. While the characters slowly develop the streets are not only filled with a deadly disease but a revolution is on the way too. The dance play is a diving into the dark, hidden parts of the soul where dreams become nightmares.”
