THE TRAP

RITA LIRA

DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in space and in your own mind? It's as if you have built a trap that you can't get out of.How does this trap feel to you? How can you free yourself from it?
This performance reveals the state of feeling stuck inside oneself and in the environment one finds themselves in. The costume, which consists of a ‘second skin’ cocoon from which long pieces of fabric stretch out, intertwines with the objects around the performer to illustrate this physical and mental entrapment.
DURATION:20 min

NEW NINA

KNOW NAME COMPANY

DESCRIPTION:
The contemporary dance performance about human relationships: from an ordinary acquaintance to strong friendship and love.Nina Simone, to whose music this performance was created, sang the events of the time in which she lived. She described without censorship, sometimes adding notes of irony.Eight young people dance to her voice with their bodies — also about relationships, but already in our time.
DURATION:40 min

BLACK SOIL

GANNA KLYMENKO

DESCRIPTION:
I woke up from the sun's heat, but it's so dark all around.Blindly. I do everything blindly. And here the hand finds a way out. Somewhere there is this little core. With a hot breath, he makes himself felt. The more I get to the top, the more warmth and light. With every part of the body through the cold and darkness I break through to the top. I am born. I'm borning from black soil.The naked body was surrounded by birds.
They were waiting for this spring, this birth. Their feathers are not clothes, but care. And this is my bird, and my black soil, and it is all around me.Around the vast steppe, my long way. My suffering, my love, my Rebirth. And I'm going to look for a home.
DURATION:35 min.
