brief encounters
Tanzhaus Zürich 2009
brief encounters lives of short meetings performed in very close proximity. Is there a magnetic attraction between the bodies? What happens when three people sit on a narrow couch? The reactions seem accidental… but maybe everything is following a logical conversation of body signs? Through a glance or a movement a short story may arise, transforming into a new one. New spaces and stories open up, when the intimacy of three people is interfered by the presence of a forth one; when a bright room is fading into darkness; when music, sound and objects join the imaginary world of the dancers.
„…A well attuned team, showing their joy in a playful and teasing way. The convincing arc of suspense, which offers various possibilities for association, is possibly the best version to embody a simple idea in an utterly coherent way.“
