The Afternoon and The Others

The Afternoon and The Others by Ingun Bjørnsgaard Prosjekt: The Faun – and its many successors – as realized by Stéphane Mallarmé, is a creature that lives the sunny day to its fullest, and yet each evening seems to experience a sorrowful sense of wanting further, pain-filled pleasure.

"In melancholy, we come to the point where the wanting occurs almost simultaneously with the evolvement of life itself. Even the rawest life force and most precious sensuality are connected with the secret wounds of the heart. Beauty contains the knowledge of beauty’s end. We live with a constant farewell. In this transition between outer loss and inner realization stands the dancer.

Within the reality of the choreography, muscle-rippling vitality and emotional meditation are synchronized as closely as possible.Trembling with life we stand there, in the heart of the sun, as the afternoon turns into evening."

– Håkon Sandell
