What are possible ways of dividing, structuring or fragmenting presence in our togetherness?

LEARNING TO LOOK SIDEWAYS examines the tableau as an image carrier, as a constantly changing structure, and thus also reflects the process of the performers: an interplay of different possibilities to transform, structure and shift a common topography of physically present and absent into fragmented cycles of movement.

The performers appear shadowy, they are carriers of ambiguous, almost silent and yet changeable images. A series of interrupted and yet coherent poses/attitudes emerges, which never really create a common story between the performers, but nevertheless create images and situations.

The artists do not follow a fixed dramaturgy; they work simultaneously and shifted, together and separately. The dance develops analogously to an energy field that requires careful handling, redistribution and directive. It is precisely this energy that is fed back into the empty space, into the actors themselves and into the perception of the audience. It’s housed where there’s no obvious affirmation, so it’s just a kind of potentiality that’s being performed.
