The end of everything we know<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And our alignment with it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with all that cacophonic jazz and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with the siren whisps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

dictates our path and rhythym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh World<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That constantly falls into pieces –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you against and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

you to meet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– here we set off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 What\u2019s ahead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

appears barely an afterimage<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the tip of an iceberg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

stubbornly drifting in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s behind<\/p>\n\n\n\n

freezes out of breath<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just about to lose its form<\/p>\n\n\n\n

exposed to the inexorable influence   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

of time, gravity and distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balancing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

in The In-Between<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we indulge in the successive tides<\/p>\n\n\n\n

celebrating<\/p>\n\n\n\n

each step on the way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that leads us through a landscape woven <\/p>\n\n\n\n

of images and sounds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

rippling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to the breath of the night <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 we keep calling each other<\/p>\n\n\n\n

throwing ourselves into storm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and facing boldly the waves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

aware that<\/p>\n\n\n\n

we\u2019ve already passed the point,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

at which we can turn back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh World<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that endlessly baits us with your mirages,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

loosen your embrace,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

let us go as we also let!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh World<\/p>\n\n\n\n

that keeps passing under the eyelids –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

let us bow to each other, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us continue  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

– there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where we never arrive,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where we never cease heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five characters embark on a journey, persistently crossing landscapes rich in micro-gestures and sounds. The outer and inner worlds collide, offering audience insight into the ambiguous, yet familiar states of loss, suspension, alienation, and distance (including from each other), as well as a longing for the indefinable, which often escapes comprehension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In choreography, Lesnierowska reactivates the choreographic language she has been developing for more than a decade. This language seeks both physical and visual representation of the idea of a polyphonic body: a body that contains many voices coexisting within it, struggling with these excess voices, cacophony, and noise. It is a movement that strives to represent emotional states that often escape clear comprehension and words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
