On The Way to You

Tuesday 15/09 is the avant-premiere, Wednesday 16/09 is the premiere. With swinging ropes, Andreia Rodrigues and Miroslav Kochanek move among the audience. In this poetic dance performance, two performers meet in a continuous search for connection while they support and challenge each other in a game of proximity and resistance. The duet is based on the popular workout ‘rope flow’, an apparently simple but fascinating technique in which long, swinging ropes create rhythmic patterns. Andreia and Miroslav reinterpret this workout routine and make it their own language. The ropes are never still, but turn in endless patterns. The game is not without risk and threatens to exhaust the duo. What begins as a physical exercise grows into its own poetic movement language in which the entire body is taken into a hypnotizing flow of energy and precision. Before and after the performance, there will be a screening of the short film On The Way To You in the foyer.
