Description
SONDERKOMMANDO tells the story of a man tormented by the time and circumstances of his life, as well as by three Dybbuks, malevolent possessing spirits who under Kabbalah and folklore are the dislocated souls of dead persons.SONDERKOMMANDO features the poetry of Georg Trakl, one of the most notable Austrian expressionistic poets, whose admirers include Kafka, Rilke, and Wittgenstein.
Wittgenstein has said of Trakl's poetry that it has “the tone of true genius." Trakl being a tragic yet remarkably talented figure unable to overcome his suffering and mental illness, presents uncommonly moving poetry offering images of darkness.
Using modern and classical dance, the performance of Trakl's hauting poetry, and ancient text, SONDERKOMMANDO seeks to get to the heart of the experience of humanity.
