Te odiero
“I Hate and Love, Therefore I Am” was the title of Anne Carson’s doctoral thesis in Greek classics, which evolved into her widely acclaimed book, Eros the Bittersweet. It speaks of the profound disquietude, the tormenting and exhilarating uneasiness that permeates the lovers’ life as it is constantly weaved together and torn apart.
Te odiero balances on the point where love meets exasperation, on the tension buildup that injures or boosts love relationships and leads to sentimental ups and downs. A place where movements and desires clash with the clumsiness of the bodies they inhabit. Confrontation and union merge, and the performers embark upon a dazzling dance that is both volatile and uniting.
Since its creation, the piece has been presented in numerous festivals, theaters and galas across Europe (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, UK), America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, USA), Asia (Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Lebanon, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea), Africa (Burkina Faso), and Australia. It has been awarded with several choreography prizes in France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and the USA.
