Song of Songs
My beloved is mine and I am his;
he browses among the lilies.
Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
turn, my beloved,
and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag
on the rugged hills.
Song of Songs is a short 25 minute show based on the biblical poem Song of Songs. It explores the romanisation of the love between a person and god. I have used the poem as a visual stimulus, directly translating the visual imagery onto stage through object manipulation and interacting with the space through movement work.
