MIRROR

 

What is mirror
Mirror is reflection
What is reflection then
Reflection is life 

You say mirror is reflection and the reflection is life. Then, is life a mirror? Mevlana says 'The one who has a real friend does not need a mirror anymore' or 'Mirror mirror on the wall! Who is the most beautiful of all?'... Mirror started with the three dancers' questioning of body movement, space and time... and it grows in Istanbul with the participation of international artists from different disciplines (performance artists, dancers, actors, and video and music makers). Mirror is a small part of our unlimited world in which we forget that we have wings and we forget how to fly. It tells the lives of five people, their rituals, repetitions, relationships, searches, vicious circles. It’s kind of the story of people who cannot see themselves who get lost within their reflections. Falling, stumbling, restarting, finishing to the end, getting to know one’s body, alienating to oneself is part of the story. It’s a small part of our unlimited world in which we forget that we have wings and we forget how to fly.
