It is told that once upon a time there were nine bridges, across which
humans could reach a land where they could live in peace with their
consciences. But as long as humans live and die, they fall and rise,
destroy and build. They speak a lot, yet they cannot say what they
think. They lie a lot, mostly to themselves. Sometimes they are
enlightened, but the next day they will turn away from themselves. In
this way, eight bridges have tumbled down so far. The ninth bridge is
the Chinvat. Those who step on it say no more words. Humans are
measured, not through their words, but their deeds. And the abstraction
of the deeds is dance itself. Chinvat is a brief stage version of Noah
Trilogy, the 3.5-hour-long performing event designed for big spaces
like industrial halls. Noah Trilogy involves dance, theatre, fine-art,
live music, video, computer, sound-installation, dialogues; it tries to
eliminate the boundaries between the different art forms.
