All those things left behind, for now

Matilda Bilberg

This Solo proposes a shift of attention, from a forward-oriented gaze to a backward-oriented embrace. Rooted in relationality, backspaces, and the fragility and resilience of our porous bodies, this dance performance engages with its paradox: a solo where multiple bodies occur in one.

It tends to the ever-changing reality of today, allowing movements to become voices to become space. With an intimate presence she, the performer, a vessel of experiences, moves from behind and around. Dances become cast and suspended as she invites the audience to hold hands with our future past.

It’s About Time

Shai Faran

The Solo deals with different questions about time and it’s non-linearity. Can we influence time? Manipulate it, stretch it, compress it, stop it? Can we exist next to time, and can we go forward in order to go back in time? Can it be our companion? Can we dance with time?

What is affecting our sensation of time and how can we detach ourselves from that. It challenges our conventional understanding of what it means to “use time in the best way” – doing more, producing more, working harder and improving in a linear way – in proposing a process oriented conception of time. Life is more than a collection of products. Life happens all the time. It's not linear and it's not always going forward, and in life, sometimes "more" can mean different things.
