THE ESSENCE OF CREATION
Opéra de Lille, France
LIMELIGHT (HU)
“Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.” ― Picasso
Creation is building and demolishing. Creation is constant magic how chaos becomes order, and establishes a new path for life. However, besides birth there is also decay where fragments or particles of life become something else or disappear from the world. These parallel life cycles follow one another perpetually day by day as the epiphany of existence.
Inspired by the national divinity of the Greeks, Apollo, who has been recognized as a god of archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, war and death, the artwork conveys this complexity by using the symbolic and physical elements of the building. The story of continuous construction and demolition portrays life itself.
