I DREAM OF YOU FLOWING THROUGH MY FINGERS LIKE THE BLOOD OF A POMEGRANATE
I DREAM OF YOU A MADMAN CHASING THE MOON WHEN THE LAUGHING BELLS MAKE ME WEEP PEARLS TEARS FOR THE BRIDAL TRAIN
I YEARN FOR A GLANCE OF YOU, MY SOUL AS YOU STEP FROM MY DREAMS
DRESS ME IN THE SILKEN ARMOUR OF HOPE
THE KNOT THAT BINDS US COILS TIGHT IN MY CHEST
BE GENTLE WITH MY TENDER HEART DO NOT PIERCE IT WITH BARBED LOOKS
I WILL BE A BLIND MAN THE LIGHT IS USELESS IF IT DOES NOT FALL ON YOUR FACE
I HAVE WALKED MY LIFE IN DARKNESS SO I MAY SEE YOUR FACE AS THE MOON THAT LIGHTS THE PILGRIM’S PATH
I KNEEL AT YOUR DOOR WEARY FROM TRAVEL BEGGING THE REST OF YOUR ARMS
PILGRIM I KNEEL WITH YOU THE THRESHOLD IS ONLY THE PAST THIS HOME NOT MINE BUT THE HEARTBEAT WE SHARE - TAYFUN ZAIDA

WE WERE INSPIRED BY OUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES WITHIN OUR COMPANY, NOT ALWAYS GOING WITH WHAT WE WANT TO HAPPEN, RATHER WORKING AGAINST IT. USING THE IDEA OF THE MISSING, THE CHALLENGE WAS TO PLAY WITH CONCEPTS THAT AREN'T ACTUALLY THERE AND HOW THIS CAN SHIFT OUR TRAIN OF THOUGHT IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. THROUGH HUMAN AND NON HUMAN CONNECTIONS, WE WANT THE AUDIENCE TO SIT BACK AND OBSERVE, TO BE BROUGHT ON A JOURNEY RATHER THAN A STORY. THROUGHOUT OUR PIECE WE PLAY WITH THE MUSIC TO BRING OUR OWN MOVEMENT LANGUAGE TO LIGHT, ALLOWING DEEP FOCUS AND INTENSITY TO HIT THE SPACE. COMPANY ECHO HAS WORKED TO CREATE A MOVEMENT LANGUAGE THAT IS DISTINGUISHABLE AND WE HOPE THE AUDIENCE CAN AGREE.
