HALL E
Midnight in a bar, with performers in the role of patrons, taking over
the stage and leading us to a place where the ecstatic body rules supreme,
beyond conventions and obstacles. Nine dancers, with or without
physical disabilities and visual impairment, create a piece verging
on ‘dance epidemic’.
How are communities built? What is the use of scapegoats and
the role of ritual violence? These questions inform the choreographic
research, drawing both on the element of surprise and the optimism
suggested by immediate experience and being present in the moment.
Audio description for persons with visual impairment on June 8th, at 21:00.
