Initiations

Mamadou Góo Bâ – voice, movement

Andrzej Rejman – piano

An improvised performance – an artistic ceremony – an act of creation in real time.

Every initiation begins with an encounter. Everything else emerges from silence, sound, and presence.

Initiations is a meeting of two artists, two sensibilities, and two distinct creative paths. Its point of departure is not a predetermined script but presence, intuition, and attentive listening.

An improvised dialogue between piano, voice, spoken word, silence, movement, and gesture guides the audience through successive landscapes of emotion, memory, and imagination. Each performance comes into being only once, shaped by the unique relationship between the artists, the place, and the audience.

The title Initiations refers to the experience of crossing boundaries—between cultures, languages, music, and theatre; between what is already known and what is only beginning to emerge. It is an invitation to experience together the process of discovery, free from imposed meanings and predetermined answers.

This performance is founded on trust in the present moment, where music and stage action become a single living organism. The images and sounds that arise do not illustrate reality—they recreate it, here and now.
