“The moment that is my life and the image of my world.” Inspired by Carl Gustav Jung’s Red Book, the duet deconstructs the nature of humanity through conscious and unconscious binaries. The achievement of transcendence is made impossible by our ability to define ourselves solely through our isolation from our surroundings. Orbis Pictus is an introspective dance pilgrimage that plays with images of the collective unconscious.
“My speech is imperfect. I speak in images not to flash words, but out of an inability to find words. Other than in pictures, I am unable to utter words of depth.” (C. G. Jung, The Red Book)
