In „VARIATIONS ON CLOSER“ the three performers investigate different variations of closeness between an individual and his observers. The observers and performers alike are offered a chance to renegotiate their feelings associated with living outside one's own body and living through the bodies of others and are confronted with the role of their own gaze and their ever shifting feelings of empathy, attraction, intimacy and alienation. The soundtrack is performed live by music maker Peter Rehberg (PITA).
Co-production: MDT theater Stockholm, RAS kulturhus Sandnes, Les Grandes Traversées Festival Bordeaux.
