Lemi
Ponifasio

Jerusalem is the opening production of the third red bridge project, performed by Lemi Ponifasio’s MAU Company. Jerusalem is a utopia caught between ideal and reality, life and death, beauty and malice, freedom and control, love and hatred, eternally suspended under the shadow of divine archetypes that patrol the nature of human life on Earth. Minimalist, ritualistic, Jerusalem is amplified by Māori song poetry and the epic Arabic Concerto Al Quds by the Syrian poet Adonis.
