but what if you fly?

guest performance
guest performance NISS | POTAPOV Hamburg
»But what if you fly?« is a dance piece about longing. It searches for the core of our own desires and how this is overshadowed by a counteracting industry of longing.
What are our actual longings? What happens when longing becomes radicalised? How far can a feeling be stretched until it tears and painfully snaps back?
The dance-performative duet explores desire and longing in intoxicating states in interaction with a live musician and opens the space for the question:
But what if...?
