A storm, a terrible windstorm, a hurricane sweeps the characters into space (into the present? into reality?) and then carries them even further (back to the past or perhaps into the future?), but they falter and cling (to what? each other? their memories? their desires?) and try to stay, want to stay (where? where are we exactly?).
Traditional language is proving increasingly inadequate to capture an ever more complex reality, and we have begun describing phenomena in images. The “image revolution” (which continues to this day) has enhanced the role of the image in communication. First, representational images and ornamentation without semantic meaning complemented each other, and then they merged, with the range of meaning of the ornamentation expanding and becoming blurred, and finally the two qualities became intertwined and the images became “ornamentalised”. At the end (?) of the process, today’s images are characterised by a lack of meaning.
The “rose is a rose” statement is thus not only a representation that carries the information that rose = rose, i.e. “things are what they are,” but it is also a textual and pictorial ornamentation.
The latest piece by choreographer Gerzson Péter Kovács, A Rose is a Rose is a Rose..., is a dance theatre production that explores the signification, the filling, and the emptying of abstract dance and referential gestural language movements.
