WEB is a playful non-verbal school performance that seeks connection and speaks to the imagination.
The performance starts from a very recognizable object, a rubber band, and combines everyday movements with the abstract and the acrobatic.
On stage, four dancers are connected to each other by means of rubber bands. They are attached to each other and cannot move in any direction. A game of stretching, pulling, and sometimes letting go ensues. The dancers become frustrated by the limitation that the rubber bands place on their freedom of movement.
The characters interact with the rubber bands, which come to life through their imagination. Throughout the performance, the rubber bands change meaning. For example, the dancers suddenly find themselves in a gigantic boxing ring where a dramatic fight breaks out. A little later, the team turns into a real rock band playing guitar on bright yellow elastic strings. Someone is catapulted from left to right, someone else from front to back. When the rubber bands hang in a tangle, the dancers suddenly become part of a dangerous burglary where they have to dodge laser beams.
By letting their imagination run wild, a literal web of meanings and connections is created. A web of possibilities.
