Five bodies, five paths \u2014 one collective reality. A legacy of postmodern dance.<\/p>\n

The performance \u201cHow Far Can We Stay from Each Other\u201d explores embodiment in three dimensions \u2013 physical, somatic, and collective \u2013 as a means of investigating empathy, mutual perception, and collective responsibility. The work is built on the interplay of movement, objects, and rhythm, which both symbolically and practically expand the expressive possibilities of the body. Structured in four parts, the performance uses repetition, variation, and polyphony to trace a progression from individual action to collective existence, with the development of rhythm drawing on Maurice Ravel\u2019s\u00a0Bol\u00e9ro\u00a0as both a structural and emotional point of reference.<\/p>\n

The choreographic language is informed by the principles of postmodern dance, including the approaches to movement developed by Trisha Brown and Lucinda Childs, as well as contemporary interpretations associated with the Belgian dance company\u00a0Rosas. This allows the performers to combine precise lines and geometric forms with the body\u2019s natural physicality, the use of gravity as a generative force, and a sense of freedom in space. The movement quality of the piece is rooted both in an awareness of the body\u2019s structure and in its responses, creating a fluid, dynamic, and multilayered language that invites the audience to reflect on the role of the body, participation, and collective responsibility in society.<\/p>\n
