Consolation

"Consolation" screens a moment of the lives of 10 men and women of different ages, cultures, social status, religion, life paths. Each of them in his/her everyday life, they tell us about their relationship to the world, to the other, to love, to creation, to loneliness, to life, to death, to nature, to God or to the lack of Gods... They confide their memories, their emotions, their doubts, their quest for identity, relying on texts excerpted from "Our need for consolation is insatiable" by Swedish author Stig Dagerman and from the poem "Fiançailles" by French poet Guillaume Apollinaire. Dance is also used in the narrative setting in metaphorical and dream sequences, like poetic suspensions of time.
