I have seen many arts performances in my lifetime, but this - RoZéO, a living installation by Gratte Ciel at Greenwich+Docklands International Festival 2023 - was quite simply the most beautiful yet. It thrilled me, and inspired me to create a series of paintings and to write this poem.
Roots and wings
The Three:
Motionless they stand,
Atop the lightest of stems.
Beneath them
Stands she of the Voice
And the Breath.
As she soars in song,
The Three take flight.
Of roots and wings they are made,
Their hair is russet,
And chestnut,
And black.
They twist, and turn, and bend,
They reach and retract
In an ebb and flow
That takes my breath away
And holds me spellbound.
They are
Magnifiques,
Exquis,
Inoubliables.
They are Gratte Ciel.
This is RoZéO,
A living installation
Like no other.
