Stabat Mater

premiered at Dance Base Edinburgh, UK. Special Edition, Fringe Festival. 10 August 2014.

The choreography is inspired by the lyrics of Vivaldi’s score.

From the pain a mother gets as she loses her child, I tried to re-live the whole journey of one’s life. This journey brings us around the themes of motherhood, childhood, education, relationships… How much does our life depend on others’ ?… and vice versa.

Review from Herald Scotland’s Mary Brennan: “Constant Vigier's Stabat Mater is powerfully ambitious. There is a lovely, unfussy quality to the lines of his dance, a focused economy that allows the sprightly verve of a carefree moment to speak fully of relationship ties without becoming histrionic, while the final images - both dancers extending cruciform arms - acknowledge the lyrics but, like the whole piece, without being limited by them. Impressively danced, too..”
