“The way up and the way down are one and the same. He had to descend to the depth of himself and stay there: in that inner darkness without refuge, without hope. This was the only path that would lead him upward. […]”
(Joseph and The Way of Forgiveness, by Stephen Mitchell)
“Dodi”, from the hebrew “gift; my beloved”, starts from the exploration of overcoming the constant state of grief and unsatisfaction that mostly shapes our human existence. The constant desire of that something more in our lives can often cause us to feel lonely and therefore fearful. With their encounter and mirroring in one and other, two entities go through a journey of self-exploration and acceptance by sharing honesty of expression, which requires profound transformation and avoidance of cultural stereotypes. The duet deals with intimacy, trust, sensuality, human connection, delicacy, lightness and passion. Dodi offers a sense of depth in our existence to discover the subtle poetry within human connections, to find profound listening and open possibilities in this reality: grief is actually one of the most precious gift that we all share, and the awareness of it helps us to do deeper, find acceptance and ultimately freedom.
