O predstavi
“Jasna in razvidna predstava gledalcu odpira nova vprašanja in ga pušča osuplega nad čustveno globino in zahtevnostjo dosledno izvedenega buto plesa.” (Tina Šrot, Pogledi)
Tulkudreamje predstavao bivanjski razpetosti med radostjoin bolečino, željo in razočaranjem, uspehomin spodletelim, strahom in pogumom, med nesmislom in razumevanjem. V njej koreografinja in plesalka Tanja Zgonc metodo buta prepleta s tibetanskim budizmom ter buto telesu nasproti postavlja tulku - čisto fizično telo duhovno razsvetljenih budistov.
Izraz tulku namreč označuje osebo, ki se je ponovno rodila v človeški svet, doživela popolno razsvetljenje in v svetu ostala z namenom pomagati drugim čutečim bitjem. Obe telesi - buto, katerega izvor je v soočenju s človeško tubitjo, intulku, ki je po budistični tradiciji razvezano usodne vpetosti v materijo, sta v skrajni abstraktnosti zvedeni na konkretni, pomensko izpraznjeni materialni telesi, ki izvirata iz praznine onstran imaginarnega.
Tanja Zgonc v predstavi uteleša tulkuja, ki sanja tulkuja, ki sanja … morda svoja prejšnja bivanja, nemaralastne odtise v nekihdrugih prostorih in časih, morda svojereplike v istem prostoru in času, kot so v filmu, ki ga je režirala Ema Kugler, nanizane vsebine v telesih »tulkujevih« učencev. Tanja Zgoncobenemuteleša razcep na človeško bivanjskost, ki jezavezana rojstvu, spremembam in minljivosti in je prežeta z vitalizmom, ki ga včasih spodsekajoizguba, lastnaranljivostin smrt bližnjih, in na bivanjskost tulkuja, ki se obvsem, kar življenje prinaša in odnaša, zgolj nasmiha, ker ve, da je doživljanje realnostiodvisno od posameznikovega lastnegapogleda.
About the performance
“A clear and evident performance which opens new questions to the spectator and leaves him astonished by the emotional depth and complexity of consistently performed Butoh dance.” (Tina Šrot, Pogledi)
Tulkudream is a performance about existential dichotomy between joy and pain, desire and disappointment, success and failure, fear and courage, between nonsense and understanding. In it, choreographer and dancer Tanja Zgonc intertwines Butoh method with Tibetan Buddhism and next to Butoh body sets Tulku – the pure physical body of spiritually enlightened Buddhists.
The term Tulku namely represents a person who has been reborn in the human world, has experienced complete enlightenment and has stayed in the world to help other sentient beings. Both bodies - Butoh, whose origin is in confrontation with human Dasein (existence), and Tulku, which, according to Buddhist tradition, is released from fateful integration into matter - are in their extreme abstractness, reduced to concrete material bodies, emptied of their individual meaning, that originate from the void beyond the imaginary.
In the performance, Tanja Zgonc embodies a Tulku, who dreams of a Tulku, who dreams ... maybe of his previous existences, perhaps of his own footprints in some other places and times, maybe of his replicas in the same space and time, similarly to how the substances in the bodies of "Tulku’s" students are lined up in the film directed by Ema Kugler. At the same time, Tanja Zgonc embodies the split between human existentiality, which is liable to birth, changes and transience and is imbued with vitalism, sometimes thwarted by loss, inherent vulnerability and death of the loved ones, and the existentiality of Tulku, who simply smiles at everything that life brings and takes, knowing that the perception of reality depends on one's own viewpoint.
