Davy Pieters / Theater Rotterdam - Do Not Look Back With Regret

VSCDMime Prize

The jury wrote: “The visual language is purified and overwhelming: cinematic scenes, layers of darkness that make time jump, a continuous snowfall of black ash and the magical lighting of Varja Klosse. Jimi Zoet's soundscape tingles and thunders. It is an intimate gathering and a poignant farewell.”

Don't look back with regret

In Don't look back with regret, Pieters explores the vulnerability of the body and life on earth with her characteristic signature. In this visual and cinematic performance we see two women (played by Irene Schaltegger and Klára Alexová) in a process of farewell, mourning and the search for comfort. What if you are faced with loss? What is the refuge when the end is in sight? Do not look back with regret offers the opportunity to pause and reflect on the loss and finitude of everything.
