Knocking – Experimental work from Hands 1
Synopsis
Knock! Knock! Knocking … !
The constant drumming, like the insistent
knocking on the door, is like a scene on the
dark silent stage
Can you hear it?
These heart-felt pleas from the 6 pioneers …
These 6 pieces will be like a galaxy of stars
unfolding like a dream before your eyes
Each of these pieces share their soul search-
ing journey of life. Their search continues on …
Loneliness … the search continues on …
Denial … the search continues on …
Reality … the search continues on …
Uncertainties … the search continues on …
Each piece is part of their soul.
When we were young, what made us sigh?
What drove us?
What made us refuse to conform?
What made us react?
Who and what gives us this perspective of life?
This is what we ask …
This is our conscience
And now let us listen to them …
