Šibenik Dance Festival: TOGETHER TO GET THERE

TOGETHER TO GET THERE
Choreography and performers: Akira Yoshida & Lali Ayguadé

An encounter between two, a hug, the feeling of the other, communication without words, the feeling of time immersed in a world created between two. A mutual support. A time that expands and stops as if it will never end. A transformation, a shift. Parts begin to fall, others to hold. That instant is forgotten and differences come to light; opposite poles, fragility and strength; the letting go and the desire for control. Balance and instability. The true human nature.
