The deepest cave in the world provides the title for a contemporary dance show that explores the concept of evil through an explosive cocktail of movement, text and image.
Darkness and shadows reign at the bottom of the Veronya Cave, an abyss more than 2,000 metres deep in Georgia, in the Western Caucasus. The site is, without doubt, the ideal setting for an exploration of evil like the one embarked upon by this dance company, formed in 2005 by a group of artists from the worlds of dance, film, photography and literature seeking new expressive languages. In this piece, they present a constant sequence of contrasting images, deconstructing movement to create an abstract, at times even violent choreography. “Veronya” explores such concepts as human morality and religion, the cave becoming an allegory of hell, like Hades or classical circles in Dante’s Divine Comedy, which La Veronal represents with figures and symbolic images that fill the stage.
