“drawing closer – layers of motion” allows viewers to immerse themselves in spaces and landscapes that can be experienced directly and immediately.

We place the body in different spatial contexts, merge the bodies with the space, represent the body itself as a landscape and in turn play with the field of tension that arises through these connections.

The spectators experience how the perception of the body and the dance changes in different environments and how different levels of meaning arise.

“One body in the forest and forest in many bodies. They touch, embrace and support each other; only to fall apart again, blown away by the wind. They disappear, appear and disappear again. “drawing closer – layers of motion”

“Inside Out / Upside Down” plays with different spatial perspectives and expands the viewers’ visual perception. Sometimes the performers actually move on stage, sometimes they disappear from view, only to reappear directly on the large screen from a bird's eye view. Physical presence and visible disappearance, together with a video work shot for Upside down/Inside out, create an idiosyncratic world that invites you to immerse yourself.
