This Is Concrete
- Dance
50 min
"This is Concrete" is a slow ride. Two men's bodies intermingle with each other incessantly, blurring their boundaries. Infused in a sonic environment of dizzying beats and revolving shadows, the performers' tripis lengthy, sedated, coital. Movements mutate into words as the two men's voices start to speak their mouths and bodies. In the corporeal and social fusion generated between them, their drive slides into pleasure, talking into eating, fucking into dancing and symbiosis into parasitism. "This is Concrete" is a collaboration between choreographers and dancers Jefta van Dinther and Thiago Granato. The performance ventures staging something intimate, incorporating the volatile as building blocks in its composition - offering to its audience to spend time with something uncertain; something uncertain and infectiously slow.
In the context of the performances of "This Is Concrete", works of the artist Uli Knörzer will be exhibited in the foyer of HAU3.www.uliknoerzer.com
