Performances
A&S Space travellers (Baal)
A&S Space travellers is a performance created with children for intergenerational audiences. It is a scenic proposal that aims to generate empathy, fantasy, dialogue and communication, within a fantastic Martian universe. Performers build an unknown place filled with volumes, circles, and spheres. Beings from another planet come to this world to interact and play with terrestrials. It is a surreal work with plastic and pictorial magic created through objects, dance, the relationship with technology, and audience participation.
Mabel Revival (Liisa Pentti +Co)
A hilarious mix of dance, performance, and cabaret. The choreographer Liisa Pentti together with musician Robert Kock are taking their audience into a charmed world of female divas, adored icons and objects of our desire. Mabel is a woman without remorse, a female diva and shaman-performer. To celebrate life one needs to speak about death and embrace the realms where we can enter only in our dreams – thus the story of Mabel Revival. Mabel is a celebration of femininity and ageing and asks the question of how women in their 60s are still relevant on stage and how they are represented.
SOMATATI (Vo'Arte)
A performance for audiences aged 4-12 years, that transcends boundaries and embraces inclusivity. Presented by CiM Dance Company, this production features a cast of artists with and without disabilities, fostering a sense of unity and belonging within the community. Follow the journey of four characters as they come alive and embark on a profound exploration of newfound superpowers. Through the art of dance, ideas meld together, creating a powerful tapestry of emotions that spans across time, from the echoes of the past to the vibrant pulse of the present, and into the boundless potential of the future.
Together Alone (Low Air)
Together Alone is a study of the canons of identity in hip-hop dance, using the most masculinist dance form, breaking. Transforming the slogan of the Olympics to propose a new format of empowered identity, artists question topics around the global neighbourhood, as it invites the audience to explore the heritage of an imported art form: Hip-Hop.
With Us (Silke Z. resistdance)
This is an intergenerational and inclusive dance performance by choreographer Silke Z., from Cologne, Germany. Karel, a dancer aged 66 and David a 27-year-old dancer with trisomy 21 meet and share their bodily landscapes, measure their individual bodily shapes and challenge each other's movement forces. They encounter each other in a completely human way: like father and son or like best friends.
