Rocking

"Everybody knows the boat is leaking. Everybody knows the captain lied." 
Leonard Cohen

Drie dans- en vloeracrobaten bewegen zich in Rocking alsof zij zich op een schip bevinden in zwaar weer. Met minimale beweging en precisie wekken Xenia Bannuscher, Dries Vanwalle en Samuel Rhyner de suggestie dat de grond onder hun voeten deint. Terwijl de lichamen constant balanceren, worden we geconfronteerd met onze eigen faalbaarheid. We kijken uit naar de kortstondige balans tussen de heen- en weer beweging in, terwijl we hard werken om niet te vallen.

Three dance- and floor acrobats move in Rocking as if they were on a ship in heavy weather. With minimal movement and precision, Xenia Bannuscher, Dries Vanwalle and Samuel Rhyner suggest that the ground beneath their feet is moving. While the bodies are constantly balancing, we are confronted with our own vulnerability. We look forward to the brief moment of balance in between the back-and-forth movement, while we work hard not to fall.

"Then something mind-blowing happens: slowly the room tilts. Before you realise that your senses are being fucked with, you are completely lost for a few seconds." Theaterkrant.nl
