“Touch the Light”
Choreographer: Ilya Jivoy
Lighting Designer: Konstantin Binkin
Video Artist: Pokras Lampas
Costume Designer: Sonia Vartanyan
Music: Philip Glass
The ballet “Touch the Light” choreographed by Ilya Jivoy, the acclaimed inventor of unusual plastique in modern ballets. The main feature of the production is calligraphy by the most famous calligrapher of our time, Pokras Lampas. The artist manually visualized the plastique of the dance, and the calligraphy is projected onto the screen and synchronized with both the music by composer Philip Glass and choreography.
“Touch the Light” is a performance at the intersection of music, fashion, street art, calligraphy, and neoclassical dance, where 6 dancers, working to the limit of their abilities, tell a touching and daring story about inner light, about the soul, and how to find themselves in this world.
“There is light inside each of us and this fire is given to us by the universe – it is an invaluable gift that can excite hearts, make destinies, and create magic. Whether it is just a small spark or an all-consuming flame, it does not matter at all if you decide to touch it...”
