Dreams of Moses - Mystorin Theatre Group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mystorin describes their new work, Dreams of Moses:
\nA new mystical performance of the Mystorin group , a poetic interpretation the story of the Exodus as a mythological story, revolving around the feminine images of water and birth \u2013 the birth of the hero and the birth of the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The performance looks through the eyes of Moses’ mother, when she dreams the future. Doing so, it supplies us with a feminine view of the Exodus, placing the woman and her inner world in the center. She will always see her son, the redeemer who leads the nation, as a baby in her arms.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

With the use of plastic materials, such as silk cloths and flexible tubes, actors draw lines and brush-strokes in space, creating a poetic language in which pictures transform as a painting is hung in the air. Using the simplest means the actors create graphic images translucent and elegant almost as a Japanese ink drawing.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The work of movement is inspired by Asian traditional theater and by ancient Egyptian drawings, stresses the transformations between images which delineate a stream of consciousness, reminiscent of a hallucination, a dream or a fantasy. Out of this stream, images are born: the angels, the birth, Pharaoh’s daughter and her servants, the palace, the Nile, the Pyramids, the Splitting of the Red Sea, the Burning Bush, and so forth. We re-interpret the known Exodus images, referring to the mother archetype as it appears in other traditions. Original music was written especially for the performance, combining ethnic and acoustic instruments.
