The Distance

The Distance is inspired by the highly physical experience of shadowboxing. Structured like a boxing match with 12-three minute rounds, there will be no backstage area for the performers to hide: they show it all in a raw, naked space - like athletes do. The movement is compact, punchy and, at times, luxurious, capturing both beauty and intensity. The piece invites the performers to push their bodies to the limit, to go: The Distance.

Buildings

Buildings reflects the internal conflict of pushing towards a better, more peaceful existence while being confronted by the harsh realities of hate and terror. It's about the dissonance between being raised with values of kindness and openness and the pervasive chaos that leads to a feeling of continuous upward reach followed by inevitable falls. The narrative is also reminiscent of the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where humanity's collective ambition to build a towering structure led to divine intervention, resulting in division, confusion, and isolation
