A melancholic trilogy that drifts between worlds and art-forms of transformation and quiet unraveling, a mystic is guided to her final crossing beneath the glow of a rare blue moon.
Echoes from the unseen begin to shimmer beneath the mystic’s path, ushering her into her final passage under a blue moon.‘Once in a Blue Moon’ is a three-part choreographic work created and performed by Tala Issaoui that moves through film, live performance, and ritual embodiment. It follows a mystic who goes on a journey of self-transformation and rebirth.‘Ode To My Soulmate?’ - a visual invocation, setting the stage for what’s to come - an exploration of the romantic notions of love and soulmates - a ponder, yearning and desire.‘void... ’ - where water floods the stage - an echo of past moments, a reckoning, a release. The mystic is called to confront what lies beneath, finding renewal in the ebb and flow of movement through grief, pain and remembrance of friendships.‘Once in a Blue Moon' - her body becomes a vessel, spiralling through trance, memory, and elemental force. Movement unravels at the edges of conscious thought, a ritualistic dance with the unknown.This is a performance of thresholds - what emerges when something breaks, when something returns, and when something is finally let go. It is a space where time shifts, where the act of witnessing becomes an invitation to feel, experience, and transform.
