WALL TO WALL

More than half of the world's population lives in cities. What does city life do to a person? Cities are often known as places where work can be found, where luxury can be bought and comfort seems within reach. But cities also produce a precarious class of homeless people, refugees and the unemployed... Out of concern for their image, city administrations try to keep these groups out of sight. Neighborhoods are changing, cities are increasingly designed in terms of gentrification, tourism and profit.\n\n"Iglesias' dance solo shows how overstimulation leads to inertia, to endlessly treading water in a sea of opportunities." \nWouter Hillaert, pzazz 'Two show beasts, one isolation' \n\nWALL TO WALL turns its gaze to the shadow worlds of the modern metropolis, the invisible flip side of the 21st-century city. To explore these contemporary themes, A Two Dogs Company brings together two projects: DEMO, a short film by the Belgian visual artist and theater maker Kris Verdonck, and NOT TOMORROW, a dance performance by the Brussels-based Catalan dancer and choreographer Marc Iglesias Figueras.\n\nIn this dialogue between film and dance, WALL TO WALL sketches a portrait of man as performer — and of the artist searching for a place in a city shaped by hyperconnectivity and digital spectacle. Both characters search for meaning and connection in a world that constantly slips through their hands. Their search seems doomed to fail, and yet they keep going — moving, performing, persevering.
