esterday I lied. Today I lied too.
And tomorrow? I don’t know.
(And here I am lying again.)
But the body struggles deeply to lie.
The lie erupts through cracks in the body, sometimes without us even noticing.
And in a world where lying has undergone accelerated normalization,
it seems we have already learned to live with it – and perhaps even lean on it.
The new creation by Amir Kolben with Kolben Dance Company
does not seek to decide between truth and lie,
but rather to place the viewer within the constant movement between them –
Truth – and of course also falsehood –
are not fixed states, but a process:
of exposure and concealment, of control and loss,
of what is seen and spoken
and what the body gives away.
Precisely there, in movement – when the body cracks –
a kind of compass is revealed, marking the point
where concealment can no longer continue.
Within a reality in which truth becomes increasingly elusive,
“Blue Sun” takes place exactly at the moment
when the lie no longer holds.
