‘The Gravity Between Us’ is a choreographic work for 2 performers, a female and a nonbinary. The piece examines the complexity of what individuals do to be seen, heard and understood. Fluidity, gender, power dynamics, system of 2 are keywords of this work.
The creative research began by exploring the identity performance and developed by exploring how the human desire for reciprocity acts as an catalyst for connection or rejection. This constant state of desire can be in one moment highly focused and then become distracted, frustrated and re-motivated to find another target for its focus.Concept/choreography: Angelos Papadopoulos
