The 12th Attakkalari India Biennial presents LONO – The Woman Who Had Two Navels by Sara Angius from Germany. This performance is supported by the Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan.
Somewhere a woman is sitting at a table.
Her memories and visions of the future are illuminated by a seemingly banal table lamp. The lamp tirelessly tries to dominate, in the uneven woman-lamp duo.
Time does not seem to pass, but rather seems to drift according to different rules than in the real world.
LONO presents a look at inner conflict and human consciousness that simply cannot be extinguished. The lamp and the performer establish a dialogue between conscious and unconscious, concrete and abstract, deceiving the eye of the spectator, playing on the perception of the real and the non-real and thus bringing on stage the element of illusion: who manipulates whom?
This leads tacitly to resignation, to acceptance of this absurd state of existence in which the soul never stands still, but hovers in a permanent dynamic balance between what was of us and what will be of us.
Dance and puppetry come together without words and very simply to create a touching reflection on a central illusion of human existence that makes you smile as well as think – to ultimately strike with unexpected depth.
