Exuberant Unease - Dance performance

"I want to be plain. I want you to let me bounce flat on the surface of the water. I get away, but not ahead. So kitschy, so beautiful, while slowly my fingers go numb and escape the pain.“ A dance piece that does not shy away from shame. Shuddering and sinking into song we take a journey far away from ourselves and reappear somewhere. The where slipped our minds. A pain of loss. A memory of a different understanding of time is awakened. We develop two personalities at the same time; one seeks to retain control, to have a plan and the other seeks to lose control and wants to surrender to absolute being. Torn by this contradiction, we stagger between plan and dizziness. A dance that devours itself like an ouroboros. In the creation of the piece, the artists scrutinise the desire for pain, the loss of control and the longing for escapism. They encounter moments of shame and ask themselves: endure or flee?
