the gravity in between

‘The atmosphere created by the unfolding experience in The Gravity in Between, performed by Danae and Angelos, is charged with the energy of anticipation. Performance transcends the formal qualities of bodies in space and takes on a visceral presence where genuine curiosity, reciprocity, and conjunctive exchange are celebrated in the spirit of human struggle and joy. There is a rare and particular commitment in this work to show up in the moment with fearless grace – inviting and confronting the possibilities of emergence. This work illuminates the beauty, power, and fragility of immanence.’

CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE
‘The resonances of the intimate through the meeting of two. “The gravity in between” is about two beings, the fact of their encounter and their engagement to keep their in between gravitational space-time intense. The dancers’ bodies become an interdisciplinary matrix of tensions, restarts, distances and crossovers, which cultivate their sensitive and expressive potential for a real encounter; both when they are not attracted to each other and when they have infinitesimal distance between them. The bodies are constantly conjucting as they are behaving as particles of their unique dual system.’
