Concept
Souvenirs from Utopia is an installation and live performance.
A trio with their dis topic shadows are showing souvenirs they took from a secret place as Utopia.
The souvenirs stand for 'universal love', purity, happy surprise, believe in an illusion, denial of ugliness', 'believe in an illusion', purification, 'enigmatic creative power', acceptance of love & lust, respect and the surrender of pleassure.
The dance and music are the soul of each object.
