Performing Poland – Four MITEM 18

Dance and movement performance by Teatr A Part and Amareya Theatre
Four is a sequence of stage compositions for four naked female performers, movement, space, sound and light. The performance was co-produced by two Polish independent theater companies: A Part from Katowice and Amareya from Gdańsk, under the direction of A Part leader Marcin Herich.
Four performers, four women, four people, four bodies.
In Japan and Korea, the word ‘four’ and the word ‘death’ are homophonous.
In European culture, ‘four’ is the number of the human being, it symbolizes matter and temporal order.
The four cardinal points, four seasons and four elements.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
There are four insatiable things: the abyss, the woman’s womb, earth and fire.
[Marcin Herich]
