CREATION 2022

MERGE

Five bodies are caught in an uninterrupted, circular flow, bound by one physical force – rotation. The performers’ movements compose a continuous interweaving system generated by their own circular trajectories, a vortex which forms a center.

The line that distinguishes the bodies undulates and gradually fades as the space between the bodies modulates, eventually merging into an autonomous entity. Here, the body is presented in its essential nature - as a vehicle of kinetic energy, shifting beyond any isolating social divisions.

Movement, music, light, all matter melds into a vibrational field where a number of possible forms arise and vanish in this hypnotic, circular, fluctuation of infinite energy.
