space for the minority to express their full personality
BAKKHEIA is a dance performance moving within the thin border between what we perceive as crazy (as sickness, as foolish, as autistic) and as genius (as free, child or animal like, honest, non-restricted).
Three dancers offer their bodies to an endless transformation, an ongoing circle, a morphing voyage of solitude. Coming close to each other, they touch, they attempt to communicate, but they always fall into a discrepancy of contexts, which they propose.
How do we communicate nowadays? Do we really talk about the same things? Do we listen to understand or just to reply? We constantly repeat our own statements, each on our own, each with own “smart technology”, close to each other and yet so lonely… Is this an absolute solitude, or does the human animal push through even the thickest shield of social norms?
