Only Skylights
Company:
ABBONDANZA
ABBONDANZA presents its second evening-length work, choreographed by Claire Louise Goldes and produced by Arts on Site.
Only Skylights unfolds as a living ritual.
Fragments of light. Splintered reality. Memory slipping into dream. A ram, a bear, a stag, and their star emerge as shifting archetypes: instinctual, celestial, deeply human. They move through constellations of power and surrender, battle and triumph, sisterhood, trust, and community. What is conquered softens into care. What feels feral reveals tenderness.
Threaded throughout are the small ceremonies we use to steady ourselves: birthday candles, the last drop of wine, 11:11, an eyelash assigned a wish, a shooting star cutting through the dark. Meaning made from coincidence, something to hold when certainty slips. How many times can the same wish be spoken before it becomes faith? Who is listening?
Happiness flickers like a brief spark. A distant hum lingers where something familiar once was.
Only Skylights becomes a shared invocation: of animal instinct and celestial longing, of fleeting light, and of the fragile, powerful act of making meaning together.
