“2gether/Al(l)one”

Work in Progress Showing at FESTIVAL: UKREP 2018

Choreography developed from the unpredictable

Theatre stands on the edge of chaos. The more the stage form is planned and rigid, the more destructive potential mistakes may prove to be, the mistakes that break the stage illusion and act as an intrusion of the real. In the dance duet 2GETHER/AL(L)ONE, however, the real is present in the theatre situation from the very beginning. Unpredictability itself is somehow an integral part of every performance and, therefore, of its existence. Mistakes such as uncontrollable laughter, stage fright, feelings of shame, animals, children, and others maintain the vitality of theatre. When watching the performance, the viewers themselves become performers as they enter the physical space of the theatre. 2GETHER/ AL(L)ONE also builds on this awareness. It puts the audience in the shoes of mistake. Absence becomes the starting point of the new presence. After all, theatre needs viewers and performers, no matter what role they are playing or when. – Urša Adamič
