Eclipse

15th October – 29th October 05'
A contemporary rhythm moving across the face of traditional Thai drumming and dance.

Everything moves in circles and cycles – we find them in nature, in science, in life, in the philosophy of Buddhism. From Quantum mechanics to a monk chanting, everything moves in a constant flow, everything is related to everything else. What happens during an Eclipse, when one element moves across and over another? There is an ancient belief that an Eclipse brings about dramatic change, intense events both positive and negative. This idea is found at the heart of ECLIPSE –orbits are brought to life on stage, through drumming, dance, and drama.

“ ECLIPSE “ finds it's origins in the many forms of classic Thai drumming as seen from a contemporary point of view. Different styles come together to form something never heard before. Out of this new rhythm, a dance is born – bringing together classic Thai and contemporary Western, exploring the orbits and cycles of existence. Traditionally in Thailand, when an Eclipse occurs, anything and everything becomes a drum – rhythms are banged out in order to scare the moon away, so that it will not eat the sun. People thought it could be the end of the world. Now, due to scientific discovery and advancement, we understand what is actually happening during an Eclipse, and a new style of performance can happen. When the orbit of the moon crosses the sun, brilliant rings of light are seen. When a contemporary rhythm crosses traditional forms, stunning events occur on stage.
