SOFT ANIMALS (12\u2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n Dresden, Germany<\/p>\n Created by:<\/strong> Jack Bannerman<\/p>\n Performed by:<\/strong> Marie Da Silva & Mattia Antonio Serio<\/p>\n Music:<\/strong> Arreglo original de Jack Bannerman, incluyendo m\u00fasica de \u201cI dreamed a dream\u201d, interpretada por Patti LuPone & The Violet, compuesta por Charles Washington \/ Original arrangement by Jack Bannerman, including music from \u2018I dreamed a dream\u2019 performed by Patti LuPone & The Violet, composed by Charles Washington.<\/p>\n \u201cThe rhythmical, cyclical, patterned and emotional nature of language makes it often difficult to interpret exactly what another person is telling us. Words, when overused or emotionally charged, may lose their meaning and dissolve into pure rhythm. This work explores whether rhythm, timing, and context connect us more deeply than words The timing of our sentences, much like the sounds of vehicles speeding past us on the street corner, can give us a much stronger indicator of if we are existing in the same reality as the people closest to us. Do you hear the cars on the street like I do?\u201d<\/p>\n @jackbannerman<\/p>\n @gexplosion<\/p>\n @jeneililla<\/p>\n Kassel, Germany<\/p>\n Created & Performed by: Selene Martello & Dario Wilmington<\/p>\n Original Music: Dario Wilmington \u00abEACNS\u00bb<\/p>\n \u201c \u2018EVEN ABSENCE CASTS NO SHADOWS\u2019 traces two artists whose connection collapses under the weight of their obsessions. Inspired by Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, the work explores how creative passion can isolate, distort, and consume. The piece questions what remains when two people become trapped inside the worlds they make and whether anyone can save the other from feeling left unseen, unfelt, and unwitnessed. At its core, the work revolves around the search for honest contact in a world that softens or blurs what is real. It reveals how two people can be physically close yet emotionally unreachable, how the glow of work can eclipse the warmth of touch, and how attention, the simplest form of presence, can become the rarest gift.\u201d<\/p>\n @tiredeyescompany<\/p>\n @selenemartello<\/p>\n @dario_wil<\/p>\n Rotterdam, The Netherlands<\/p>\n Created by:<\/strong> Francesco Paolino<\/p>\n Performed by:<\/strong> Tom Blanc & Rebecca Rosselli<\/p>\n Music:<\/strong> Godspeed You! Black Emperor \u201cThe Dead Flag Blues\u201d, Cristobal Tapia de Veer \u201cHe Looks So Real\u201d, Sebastian Meissner \u2013 Foreigner \u201cSnow Tracks\u201d, Sebastian Meissner \u2013 Light Movement \u201cNova Huta\u201d, Efrim Menuck \u201cThe Dead Flag Blues\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c \u2018MUGA\u2019 is a term from Japanese philosophy referring to the state of non-ego: a condition of emptiness free from attachments and desires. It is not absence, but a space where being can manifest authentically. The work reflects on contemporary individuals, immersed in a system that accelerates life and reduces existence to production and performance. Two bodies move within this mechanism in a suspended landscape. When one loses precision, a fracture appears, giving rise to fragility and awareness. This marks an awakening: a return to presence and individuality, where dance becomes a space in which the void is inhabited.\u201d<\/p>\n @francescopaolino__<\/p>\n @tommy_blc<\/p>\n FERNE N\u00c4HE <\/strong>(15\u2019)<\/p>\n Lucerne, Switzerland<\/p>\n Created by: Zhiyelun Qi<\/p>\n Performed by: Nina Ritter & Zhiyelun Qi<\/p>\n Original Music: Zhiyelun Qi<\/p>\n \u201cThe piece explores how transcultural imprints and their added value can be made visible through dance. Quiet, often invisible processes and experiences are rendered physically and emotionally tangible and experienced as identity-forming processes. \u2018Ferne N\u00e4he\u2019 opens a space for reflection, perspective shifts, and dialogue in social coexistence\u201d.<\/p>\n @yelun_qi<\/p>\n @n_ina_<\/p>\n
