The performance is devoted to a book written by the beguine Marguerite Porete (ca. 1250-1310) entitled <em>Le Miroir des \u00e2mes simples an\u00e9anties et qui seulement demeurent en vouloir et d\u00e9sir d&#8217;amour<\/em>. Written in the vernacular and in the form of a play between the characters Love, Reason, and the Soul, Porete lays out seven stages of love that a soul must pass through in order to achieve its total annihilation and complete union with god. Bypassing the papal-monarchal powers of her time by offering women direct access to the divine, the book was condemned in Cambrai, set to flames in Valenciennes, and eventually Porete herself was burned at the stake in Paris. Through dance, sound, and text, <em>Begin \/ The Mirror<\/em> embodies each of Porete\u2019s seven stages to explore the movements of medieval mysticism, the spiritual practice of radical love, and the political dimensions of self-annihilation. Cutting through the fabric of centuries to translate, in all our humbleness and by the graces of collectivity, this fated text.<\/p>\n<p>During their residency at BUDA, they will be engaging with local Beguine history, doing site visits, and creating dance and text material for the performance. This performance will premiere on\u00a0November 29 &amp; 30 &#8211; Espace Pasolini (Valenciennes) in the context of NEXT Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26701,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26703","residentie","type-residentie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residentie\/26703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residentie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/residentie"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26703"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residentie\/26703\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26705,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/residentie\/26703\/revisions\/26705"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.buda.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
