do we pray enough

dance theatre performance

A dance-theatre performance that dives into questions of coexistence in our contemporary society.

The two performers/dancers and the organic material of reed enter into a relationship of interaction, construction and destruction. With minimal and pure means the performers sculpt a constantly moving landscape that seems to have existed since archaic times.

At the heart of the work is prayer: what does it mean when not synonymous with a religious matter? How do we arrive at life changing decisions? What determines which way to go?

Could it be that in the unstable and over technologized state of our world the essence is to connect to more timeless qualities and concerns of our existence on earth? To keep an incorruptible magic alive?

In Do we pray enough the performers give themselves to dancing, grunting and whispering the song. Of the wild. Of their ancestors. Of politics, intuition and the erotic. Of the magic of contradictory forces within.

Or is it a prayer?

By / with: Victoria Hauke (choreographer, dancer) and Tatiana Zuccolotto (physical actress)   Andi Otto (music), Margrethe Højlund (dramaturgical advice), Carlo Kitzlinger (video, editing)
