Finding a balance between our wild, eccentric inner selves and the wisdom of experience is often a challenge. Margie Gillis explores that experiential interconnectedness in this piece, accompanied by two female accomplices, pure and wild, in a portrait of a collective, modern humanity.
An incarnation of the four original elements – such as the wind that caresses or fire that transforms – the woman placed onstage by Margie Gillis seeks to attain the meaning of life through a personal and collective exploration.
With Viriditas, Margie Gillis also seeks to transmit hard-earned knowledge – the wisdom of the ancients shared with new generations, like a legacy. That heritage reveals that dance and the arts in general can resolve conflicts by simply connecting people with each other.
