POST GRAVITY BODIES

Post Gravity Bodies explores a movement repertoire beyond a hierarchized above and below. Three dancers and a musician deprive the feet, the singing voice and the spoken word of their bearings. Post Gravity Bodies invites you to a sensory journey through space, where bodies float and nothing falls - for where could they fall? Kattalin Newiger Mitxelena and her team explore the concept of weightlessness from the perspectives of choreography and dance history. With the means of music, sculpture and dance, they create a poetic, weightless space on stage. Bodies shed the social order of an above and below.
