“It’s like I’m in a movie that starts quiet but something is underneath and may rise unexpectedly at any time. I wake up. A blurred object is hovering right in front of me. I’m so shocked I can’t really see it. ‘I knew it. This is the Thing.’ I try to calm down and look at it again. I see now the object is just a corner of the wooden table next to my bed. I get up. It’s bright. I go for a walk outside. A man shows me the vineyards where vines are still only seeds in the soil. We arrive to a small house with no front wall. Inside the house is a baby, alone and sovereign. I look at the baby and it transforms into a whirling object. I look again and the object transforms into a still white formation. Something has crystalized into a form.” (Mala Kline)
GENESIS is weaved from the dreams of the five performers. The world of GENESIS comes into being first as a dream, then as an embodied image and form. Every moment is the beginning, a return to the creative space where dreaming and the here and now continuously penetrate and inform each other. We are the kings of this singular space. We set its laws as we communally dream GENESIS into being. GENESIS is the ongoing striving of the world to be born through our dreaming.
