1 Haiku

2 2 Haiku Haiku er et foruroligende billeddigt i bevægelse. Haiku er et urytmisk univers af sensuelle oplevelser. Det er rå, detaljerede snapshots af den mest intime virkelighed: Det nøgne menneske i sin fysiske og mentale essens. Haiku er skræmmende realistisk, snigende erotisk og ukorrekt upolitisk. Haiku er den drøm du håber du aldrig vil drømme Haiku er den ordløse sandhed som ingen andre end du selv kender.

3 Cantabile 2 s Haiku er som en klardrøm, der væver det virkelige sammen med det uvirkelige, og som på én gang giver tilskueren rollen som observatør og medforfatter af sine oplevelser. Haikus tre kvinder taler et sanseligt sprog der ikke fortæller eller fortolker historier, men snarere åbner portene til mulighedernes kosmos, der forener det personlige med det universelle. Haiku skal ses som man drikker af en kilde, som man ser på en himmel, som man drømmer en drøm. Uden hvorfor, bare fordi. Forestillingens grundstemning og forunderlige univers har hentet en skygge af inspirerende næring i forskellige lag af den japanske kultur. Fra de klassiske Haiku digte der altid, i ultrakort form, omhandler sanselige oplevelser af den naturlige verden, til Haruki Murakamis grænsebrydende og netop drømmende forfatterskab. Fra subkulturelle fænomener som suicide pacts, hvor man mødes i særlige chatroom på nettet for at arrangere gruppeselvmord til de unge pigers Goth-Lolitamode, der dyrker det ekstreme look med forkærlighed for dødssymbolik og provokerende blandinger af barnlige og seksuelle signaler. Profil Cantabile 2, egnsteater i Vordingborg, er et af de vigtigste performanceteatre i Skandinavien, og teatret er internationalt anerkendt for sine store stedsspecifikke værker. I de senere år har Cantabile 2 i internationale samarbejds-projekter arbejdet med fokus på one-to-one performances, som i det unikke værk Venus Labyrinten, der fortsat bliver sat op rundt om i verden. Til alle formater skaber teatrets kunstneriske leder Nullo Facchini stærke visuelle landskaber, der ofte er ladet med fysisk tilstedeværelse og individualitet. I Vordingborg arrangerer Cantabile 2 desuden den internationale teaterfestival Waves hvert andet år i slutningen af august måned. 3

4 4 Haiku Haiku is an alarming poem in movement. Haiku is a non-rhythmical universe of sensual experiences. It is raw, detailed snapshots of the most intimate reality: The naked human in its physical and mental essence. Haiku is frightening realistic, sneaking erotic and uncorrect unpolitical. Haiku is the dream you hope you will never dream Haiku is the speechless truth known only by you.

5 Cantabile 2 s Haiku is like a Lucid Dream, melting the real and the unreal, giving the spectator two roles at the same time: as an observer and as a cowriter of his own experience. Haiku s three women talk a sensual language that does not tell nor interprets stories, but rather opens the doors to a cosmos of possibilities, combining the personal and the universal. Haiku should be seen like one drinks from a spring, like one looks at a sky, like one dreams a dream. Without why, just because. Haiku s atmosphere and its odd universe has found a shadow of inspiring nourishment in several layers of the Japanese culture. From the classic Haiku poems that always, in very short form, deal with the sensual experiencing of the natural world, to Haruki Murakamis groundbreaking and dreamlike literature. From sub cultural phenomena like suicide pacts, when people meet over special internet chat rooms to arrange group suicides to young girls Goth-Lolita fashion, worshipping extreme looks with a predilection for death symbolism and for provoking mixes of childish and sexual signals. Company Profile Cantabile 2, Regional Theatre in Vordingborg, is one of the most important performance theatres in Scandinavian, and has earned its reputation on large scale site-specific works.
