Meg Stuart & Jompet Kuswidananto/Damaged Goods: Celestial Sorrow

“When the lights of Celestial Sorrow are switched on again … all you can say is: this is exactly what I wanted to see onstage, a work like no other.” —Mouvement

Meg Stuart continually invents new presentation contexts and movement languages in collaboration with artists from diverse disciplines. In an immersive installation made with celebrated Indonesian visual artist Jompet Kuswidananto, Stuart creates a vibrant world of light, movement, and music inhabited by three performers and two musicians. Possession, implanted fictional traumas, imaginary and invisible spaces, and the voices that make them resonate are just some of the starting points for an adventurous leap into unknown territories. Created with and performed by Jule Flierl, Gaëtan Rusquet, and Claire Vivianne Sobottke, with live music by Mieko Suzuki and Ikbal Simamora Lubys.
