A note from the author. Dirty Pink, like all my performances, is presumably a multidimensional piece; it gives the audience freedom to interpret the nightmare question "what is it about?" providing some possible trails but also some red herrings. Thus, Your interpretation of the piece unmercifully becomes Your own statement about Yourself. Wicked, huh? Nevertheless, there are two dimensions in the piece, which I believe to be basic, and therefore, it's scary to say it, important. The first issue is "the formal one", that is addressing dance as such, what it is, when it takes place, why it takes place, and why it causes or doesn't cause a reaction of the spectator.

The second issue is "the narrative one", since my inquiries take place with the use of some emotional, movement, composition material and that material is exactly what for the performer, that is me, and the audience, that is You, is most important. Below I present some trails regarding the abovementioned issues. Enjoy.

Formal note "The art of the grotesque is based on the struggle between content and form. (...) The grotesque deepens daily life until it ceases to represent only that which is usual. The grotesque unites the essence of opposites into a synthesis and induces the spectator to attempt to solve the enigma of the incomprehensible. (...) Elements of dance are hidden in the grotesque, because the grotesque can be expressed only through dance." Vsievolod E. Meyerhold (Le grotesque au theatre, p. 104-109, w Le Theatre theatral, Nina Gourfinkel, Gallimard, Paris 1963).

Narrative note. "Regardless, how much the twentieth century authorized desire to be a valid driving force of human actions, the history of individual humans still remains a history of guilt and shame." Jon Grawlmiller (The forbidden loot, p. 12, Jefferson & Handle, San Francisco 1999).
