On September 22, Gosia Mielech’s original performance Mission Intuition will premiere during the Nonstop Internasjonale Teaterfestival in Norway.
Mission Intuition is a dance performance that unfolds as a poetic exploration of intuition and transition. Delving into the profound interplay of intuition, instinct, and intellect, it invites audiences to ponder the essence of knowing beyond logic and address intuition as a direct, immediate grasp of reality. The artist reflects on the traces we leave and carry with us in a world of constant movement and change. Guided by Hekate, the Greek goddess symbolizing transitions and crossroads, through the mantra of life on stage. The piece also echoes Heraclitus’ timeless insight that “the only constant in life is change.”
