What if we stop for a moment? What if we go slower?
While the world is becoming more and more complex due to pandemics, wars, technology, and crises, it seems we must keep catching up. In the overtaking pace of processes, there is not much time left for ourselves. But what if we stop for a moment? What if we go slower, live more casually, and take things less seriously?
It is the starting point of choreographer Ayelen Parolin’s presentation of contemporary dance in its simple and honest side. Without music, stage effects, and sets, her new piece comes out of the need to simplify life. This dance dandyism uses the comic and the absurd to reveal the simplest and most significant human dimensions.
The three performers dance on stage, extracting sounds and rhythms from their movements, gestures, and impulses, from their sincerity and spontaneity. Their naivety makes them sometimes comical, childishly naive, and even absurd. They dance free of scruples, a counterpoint to the talking heads and experts dominating our agenda, proving that even the most important work requires a dash of lightness and fun.
Born in Argentina and based in Belgium, Parolin incorporates humour and surprise into her choreographic work, which reminds us that anything is possible, from the ridiculous to the dreamlike.
