Locally and internationally active artists tell stories in which perception and madness may lie close together. Ranging from coded to narrative through to abstract, the tales are marked by sensuality and fragmentation.
Exploring disruption, processuality as well as other gray areas in solos and duets, the featured artists understand choreography as an instrument to experience the world. Role-plays meet meditations on loneliness, allusions to modern dance meet intoxicated reading gatherings. Bodies become living encyclopedias, iconic figures, or reveal an arsenal of memories.
These bodies do not always represent their own identity; rather, they face their dangers and related fears head-on or devise tactics of concealment – with virtuoso choreographies, eruptive texts and movements full of inner tension.
