Just in appearance sometimes as everyone else

dance performance

‘At the rehearsals, during our "encounterings" we listen to a huge number of songs on the subject of goodbyes. And we had this idea for the title that would be composed of one verse from the songs. Such a verse combines two things: first, it sounds like something not perfectly clear or fully formed; it lingers in the air waiting to be completed. And second, the performance deals with day-to-day life that we deliver through certain formal procedures. Or more precisely, through certain methods of "doing" we search for cracks through which we can perform day-to-day life. The transition between formal procedures and spontaneity creates a junction, the exchange of singleness, individuality and generality.’ Kaja Lorenci
