“Out There and In Here” opens up a dense space full of potentials and treats dance as a radical meeting. This is a performance about the uncertainty that we may or may not be spared. About something, about somewhere, about maybe, about the intensity of the uncertain and the unpredictable… This performance is about the edge that separates and binds us… It is about the reasons and ways we employ to traverse it and how this crossing, one we could also call touch, changes, encourages, disturbs and instills fear… In this performance the bodies are mechanisms for production of discomfort. Ana says this performance is from what our body accumulates and lives, Sonja adds it comes from the panic you feel but do not understand, from the anxiety of the world that lives on an edge…
