New one-man show, SHADOWS OF LIGHT
October 2008 – Razvan Mazilu stars in a breathtaking 60-minute one-man show created particularly for his style by a team of French artists, led by internationally acclaimed choreographer Philippe Tréhet. The show, called SHADOWS OF LIGHT, is presented by the Odeon Theatre in Bucharest on a regular basis. The show is produced by perfoRM Foundation and Odeon Theatre.

Philippe Tréhet is one of the most important French choreographers today, having created numerous shows for prestigious theatres around the world, including Nederlands Dans Theater, San Francisco Ballet or Bat Dor Dance Company. For the French choreographer, SHADOWS OF LIGHT is the 65th creation of his career. Philippe Tréhet: "I have thus created a piece in which Razvan Mazilu will be able to show – once more – the magnitude of his talent, sensitivity and force.

The character he embodies is a man trapped in his past, in the habit of living together with the ghosts of his lost loves. The show starts as the character decides to put an end to this way of life, stopping crying for all things lost and putting a smile on his face at the thought of all he has experienced. It is a struggle for the character to become and re-become. He will embark on a ritual through which he is facing his own demons. The shadows will no longer be a source of anxiety or malice, but they will become, above all else, his best allies. They will be his shadows of light."
