THEREAFTER

THEREAFTER is a pseudo-documentary film that captures two protagonists dwelling in the imaginary landscape. It is speculation about a place that exists in a parallel universe, in a distant future, long after contemporary society has collapsed. While wandering, roaming and manoeuvring therein, they experience a series of phantasmic encounters. They gradually discover features of the landscape and commit to a place where green is greener than ever before.

Set in green, and set within a landscape, choreography dissolves, softens, loses its outlines. At the same time, it sharpens the senses, which arm the body. The body is where choreography draws maps of pleasure which reconfigure with each new experience. Choreography steps outside the circumference of the rational and the tabulated, heading towards imagination; towards that which has yet to be thought, but is already being sensed. And yet, I am not seeking to pit opposites against each other. The territories choreography enters are no less real; they exist, they are alive. Green stands for the pulsing of the earth and the oceans; it is a concoction of light / sun and water / sky. Entering a landscape of green enables us to abandon the familiar and become part of a process that is vitality – in other words, change.
