Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

some dance/performance artists appreciated by knot re-lay ---

Les Ballets C. de la B.
20 years of creative power in dance......

About 'experimetal'
Much art which is to a certain extent experimental is above all self-referential....
Alain Platel and his companions at Les Ballets C de la B have never been much concerned with all this navel-gazing. The choice of name itself was already statement enough. When it was founded in 1984 the name was used in full: Les Ballets Contemporains de la Belgique, an unsubtle reference to exactly what that motley crew that held open house in Alain Platel's attic did not want to be: a smart dance company. In fact from the very beginning there was even uncertainty whether one could actually call it a dance group at all. Alain Platel preferred to call it movement theatre and when 'Emma' came out in 1988 he said, 'the performances arise mainly out of non-spoken theatrical improvisation. It can sometimes lead to people dancing.'
(Jan Middendorp, 1995)

Alain Platel on Pina Bausch

I remember three things about Pina Bausch:
one: dance is not a question of athletic performance or complex gymnastics at an Olympic level, it is rather a collection of 'indicative signs', replacing or supplementing the purely verbal for which we all too quickly (and easily) reach.
two: the fear and incapacity of people to communicate with each other is the ever-recurring theme in each of her works, and my concern is to transpose this sort of theme into visual terms.
three: the division between audience and stage should be made as minimal as possible. And yet this division is there, because what is shown is shown on the stage. In other words what is shown may deal with reality but it is not reality.

(unpublished text by Alain Platel intended for his colleagues,1982)
