Heiddeger says "It is not we who speak langage but language which speaks us". It structures our world, it structures our sense of time, of identity, of human relations, of love, of violence. When Foucault brilliantly says there is no more man, there is no more author, etc., and when deconstruction speaks of language as an autonomous, inward turning game as a dance around an infinitive possible meanings.
Prospero Dance Collective is formed during the practice for the show Upside-Down in İstanbul Dance Festival in 2007. The audience loved Upside-Down presented in Prag/Festival New Europe and in Bonn Biennial and called the collective back on stage for four times. The collective presented Inside Out in the 16th International İstanbul Theatre Festival and Mechanisms in iDans Festival. Issue, to be staged in the 17th Theatre Festival, is the first show in which the collective uses theatre, dance, and performance methods in conjunction.
...our real purpose "happiness", left its place to the "issues" we have to struggle with to attain that happiness...
