It is our conviction that whether man knows it
or not, whether he whishes it or not, the
Absolute is his ultimate goal.
Furthermore
It is also his very origin and innermost
and deepest essence.
We feel that any pathway, be it tortuous or
unusual, should be understood as a mystery of
initiation.
In this journey one’s
identity is gradually effaced until it can
recognize itself in the Ineffable Being.
Awareness reaches the inner recesses of the soul
which thus becomes accessible to the Infinite
which it can now welcome.
This disposition is the result of free choice.
We sought inspiration in mythological and
religious tradition
– from them we drew the symbolism of events or
stories such as the abduction of Persephone,
Christ’s prayer in Gethsemane and Ulysses tied
to the mast of his ship.
We sought the moment in which the individual is
put to the test, his will is frustrated, his
intellect is obfuscated by that which is
inconceivably beyond human grasp.
Moving subsequently into the portrayal of
mystical elevation through dance and the
ripening of the fruit of rebirth and the gift of
the self we turned our gaze and that of the
spectator towards the hope that in such and
endeavour a choice may be made – a free,
unfailing, transfiguring choice of faith and
love for He who gave us life and ceaselessly
calls us unto Himself : life after life, death
after death, identity after identity, veil under
veil.
And may a hidden light, ignored at the outset,
then sought with yearning and finally found,
break through to the grim darkness of the rooms
that lead to the threshold of the Absolute.
