In tension between release and omit
Three dancers, four musicians and one master of ceremonies determine this evening. Life – a game? Who triggers whom? Does the music trigger the dance or the dance the music? Do our actions determine our life, or does our life determine our actions? In this instant it is the master of ceremonies: Elegantly he leads the audience through a world seemingly pliable yet fleeting. What has been triggered off becomes volatile, what is volatile triggers something. The outcome is not determined: Is it the master controlling the pawns in the game or are the pawns indeed controlling and challenging him in turn.

What the audience had to say about the production:
«An exciting programme, a celebration of the senses, without a single spoken word. The coalescence of facial expression, acting, dance, music, space, objects and light is particularly striking. Lots of charm, wit and erotism!» HP. B.
«The music is bombastic. Full of energy and musical. Very, very cool. The musicians show a refreshing virtuosity without having to show off. The dance is strong and solidly choreographed as well as absolutely rehearsed. The dancers’ strength were taken into consideration and all three of them presented themselves really well.» Ch. M.
