Sílvia Real
Edina
Commissioned by António Pinto Ribeiro and premiered in January 1994 at Culturgest, in Lisbon, Edina was part of the program “O que pode um corpo?” ("What can a body do?"), whose proposals stemmed from a reflection on "what can dance do in the face of these war images" coming from Bosnia, particularly Sarajevo.*
cited from the program’s brochure, Culturgest 1994*
“[…] Mom and dad ran through a field between Mojilo and Phase-C hoping to get lucky. A few days ago, two men were killed in that field.When something like that happens, people panic for 3 hours and then keep walking the same path as if nothing happened. In fact, that's the only way to survive […]”
Tua Lada (July 31, 1992)
“[…] My love, my love, my love, now a few words about life in this pace. Sarajevo is a concentration camp, the largest ghetto worldwide. We have nothing but the dead, dead people, dead people all around […]”
Pavle (December 24, 1992)
