Trepkodoune
Trepkodoune is a combination of the Japanese word "kodou" with the Bulgarian word "treptene", both meaning "pulsation".
What interests us in this project is the different rhythms of language, habits, gestures, movements, emotions. We believe that each of these rhythms has a pulsation, which was formed and influenced by our childhood and life experiences.
We focused on those pulsations, invisible but sensitive, that are rooted in us. The starting point of our work is the rhythmic scheme of two poems: Kogiku by Tomihiro Hoshino and Dve Houbavi Otchi by Peyo Yavorov. We transposed their rhythms into gestures, movements, sounds and visual installation.
