A Mood for Deep Longing (2013) - Theatre - Trailer

Violent images of a recent attack can devastate or confuse a person. The recognizable sound of a song from a bygone childhood can take someone back to a time full of security within seconds. Subconsciously everyone uses their personal values and experiences to give their own meaning to reality. These interpretations color perception and sometimes lead to a fixation on their own thoughts. But is blind faith really the best counsellor?

A MOOD FOR DEEP LONGING takes a critical look at the implications of undoubted choices and a resounding ‘yes’. Promises and threats come toge-ther in a dance theatre performance full of live chanting, fierce dance and wistful traditional Eastern European music. With four energetic dancers and live vocals by Iris (Iritchka) Ficker, the Serbian – Dutch choreographer Jelena Kostić (1976) takes you on an odyssey through the human mind. Sometimes playful, sometimes meaningful, but always original and with a radical physicality.
