»When we earnestly dive into being ›too much‹ does the surface crack to expose something more vulnerable?«

MAKING IMPRESSIONS AND OTHER FAILURES is a dance-performance duet that deals with ecstatic and peculiar gestures as a bizarre way of relating to another person or making an impression while revealing deeper layers of oneself.

With humour, awkwardness and slight extremes, the performers attempt an inability to inhibit their impulses while being driven by a structure that restricts and controls them.

The work exposes the performers to real mistakes and moments of failure while celebrating joy and playfulness. It humorously highlights the attempt to make an impression on others and the merciless failure to do so.

To provide an appropriate setting for the work, come dressed in evening attire!

  The performance will be accompanied by two free workshops by professional dancers for people aged 15-25. Interested parties can register soon via our website!
