Lovers Walk - a Poetic Journey in Eight Scenes
A True Love Story
April 2010, wandering around Kawai Purapura Retreat Centre with his camera, photographer and a poet Gus Simonovic met a dancer/actress Siri Embla and their personal and creative lives took a sharp turn.
From the start of their romantic endeavour, Gus and Siri have creatively mixed their on-stage and off-stage relationship by producing and performing intimate, miniature performance pieces. They called them “Walks”.
Gus’s poem would trigger choreography for a impromptu dance; or Siri’s dance would initiate words and sounds. That led to an artistic experimentation and exploration of human relationships and especially – the most mysterious and beautiful one – LOVE.
Their “Lovers Walk” started here in Kawai Purapura, and in 2011 the resulting show – a fusion of music, poetry, video, theatre and dance – has taken them to perform at the world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Says Siri: “Lovers Walk will brighten colours in your own love-kaleidoscope while telling you a story that you know as if was your own.”

Gus and Siri teamed up with top local and international musicians and visual artists involved with Printable Reality – an organisation committed to poetry and the spoken word – and went on creating what would become their contemporary multimedia performance – “Lovers Walk – a Poetic Journey in Eight Scenes”.
They amalgamated the range of feelings associated with the “L” word into a visually and meaningfully moving stage journey, starting from their own amorous interactions and looking closer into the universal experiences of pleasure, longing, attachment, seduction, loss, expectation, marriage, break-ups, belonging, romance, sex, togetherness, loneliness.
“Aroha, acquaintance, romance, affection, devotion, liaison – the show is about love in all its forms,” says Gus.
Now, 2 years after their serendipitous meeting, having toured in Europe, and fresh from the New Zeland Fringe Festival in Wellington – they are back walking through Albany bush again. As a part of Kawai Purapura International Yoga Conference and Festival they share the journey for one night only at the TEE PEE on 28th April.
Lovers Walk: a short (yet infinite) odyssey, lived, written, created and choreographed by dancer Siri Embla and poet Gus Simonovic, with video material by visual artist Peter Brierley-Millman and music by Jo Blankenburg (piano), Dubtext’s Gareth Priceless (guitar, electronica) and Kotaro Nishishita (classical guitar).

Poem - GITANJALI - RABINDRANATH TAGORE
Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life.
This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.
At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.
Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill.
