Duurbaar: Journeys Into Horizon
World Premiere: SEPTEMBER 14, 2006, The Southern Theater, Minneapolis, MN
Duurbaar, “unstoppable” in Bengali, explores stories of loss and struggle, sexuality and sensuality, and women’s relationships to femininity. It is inspired by the relentless striving of marginalized women around the world to keep going, to realize horizons when none are visible, and to create light when all seems dark. After moving through sections of loss and letting go, of regeneration and connection, Duurbaar ends with a celebration of transcendence and joy, where women flood the stage with water, dance in “wetness,” and explore the materiality of flow.
Running Time: 78 minutes, without intermission
