Requiem for a Young Soul

Maker Charles Pas
Duration 60 min

How do you comfort someone when you are broken yourself? 

The resilience of our spirit at the moments when we are grieving deeply? They can sometimes end up making you surprised at yourself. Charles Pas takes us into the beauty of ‘being truly human’ with a combination of post-rock shoegaze over the speakers and cinematic dance etched into your retina. Love and grief lie intertwined on the floor. Bodies move between memory and reality, get stuck in loss and search for each other again. The light pounds, the shadows fade, the visions slide. And we, the audience, are compelled to feel that deep need for connection and mystery. Humans: so different and yet so the same. 

Charles Pas (1998) is a performance artist with his own movement language. In his performances and playing, he searches for the authenticity of being human; an authenticity that is under pressure in an increasingly elusive society. Charles brings the crisis of connection to the stage: between human and the self, and between human and society. He transforms that alienation into an urgent physical experience that forces us to come closer.
