Everything is far
and long gone by.
I think that the star
glittering above me
has been dead for a million years.
I think there were tears
in the car I heard pass
and something terrible was said.
A clock has stopped striking in the house
across the road...
When did it start?...
I would like to step out of my heart
an go walking beneath the enormous sky.
I would like to pray.
And surely of all the stars that perished
long ago,
one still exists.
I think that I know
which one it is--
which one, at the end of its beam in the sky,
stands like a white city...

DEBBIE is a multimedia performance featuring 8 artists, including four dancers, an opera singer, a cellist, a sculptor and the creators. It is a world that merges movement, music, cinema, and poetry. A series of vignettes residing in a vast desert space, a long road stretching from one place to the next. The inhabitants of this world deal with questions of belief and belonging as they search for freedom between the boundaries of loneliness and solitude.
