Production:: Ghostland Cinema/Does It Start With a Kiss?/Wunschkonzert/Waiting (T1169290936)
Ghostland Cinema - Spinning giddily between crime-scene-investigation, misguided therapy session and cack-handed se?ance for a doomed starlet, Ghostland Cinema is a cryptic and chaotic exploration of how we remember, and of why we might prefer to forget. London based mingbeast are interested in botched illusion, ultra-competitiveness, and allowing everything to get out of control (if only for a moment). Sleepwalk Collective is an award-winning theatre group based in the Basque Country. Both companies develop performance works between the UK and Spain.
Does It Start with a Kiss? - How much are we dependent on each other? Who takes what from who and why? Urgent questions of individual agency and submission spill from relationships fizzling with the passion of the tango, as an impetuous trio dance ?all for one and one for all!' ? in it most-definitely-together to discover the outer limits of this guiding principle. Formed in 2009/2010 by ?va Duda, the company have commissioned Slovenian artists Rosana Hribar and Gregor Lus?tek to choreograph this latest work.
Wunschkonzert - Inspired by the 1971 Franz Xaver Kroetz play of the same name, Wvunschkonzert unveils one woman's grasp for a sensual life of joy and wonder and of dreams realised, beyond everyday monotony, loneliness and longing. Through sleight choreography and fragile ruses of movement, Morales sensitively opens up the space to reveal the depths of the human soul. Before pursuing her independent practice in 2008, Maura was a soloist for leading State theatres in Cuba and Europe. Winner of Kurt Joos Best Dance Performance award at Huesca festival, Spain.
Waiting - It can be an interruption, a pause, or an obstacle to a future not yet begun. We wait for insight or for a bus. Until pain subsides. For word of a loved one, for toilet paper, money or for a visa. Different worlds clash quietly through traces of dance, performance and film in a meditation upon the fundamental human experience of waiting. Mokhallad worked at the National Theatre of Iraq before the war changed the course of his life. Now resident director at Toneelhuis in Antwerp, Belgium, he won the 2013 Young Director's award at the Saltzburger Festspiele for Romeo & Juliet.
