Lebenslicht thoughts

What is the piece about?

“Lebenslicht” is about life’s last moments. The state that we are confronted by, knowing that we don’t have long to live. It is a piece about processing the emotions and thoughts that arise. It examines what it really means to go in peace and celebrates and appreciates life in finding oneself during these final moments.

The process:

To get closer to the theme and through working with Sung-Eun, I posed the dancers these questions:
- How would you feel and react if you were told you only had a short time to live?
- With this new reality: who are you really?
- What effect does music have on you?
- When in your life do you feel most alive?

Their answers together with patients stories from Sung-Eun, served as inspiration to create the piece.
