bitte, or before we were birds
6 dancers; 20 min
Music: The Sound of Music, Franz Schubert, Courtney Barnett
"bitte, or before we were birds" tracks the fallout of heartbreak and loss without really providing any solutions or resolutions. It is divided into four distinct states of being: denial, apathy, anger, and eventually, the glimmer of acceptance. All in all, "bitte" (which translates to "please" as well as "thank you" in German) is a coping mechanism attempting to reach some sort of harmony that may never come.
