TRACK

In her new production TRACK, choreographer Emi Miyoshi explores walking - the fundamental movement that we often take for granted. With her SHIBUI collective, she deconstructs the natural process of stepping: the foot lifts off the ground, touches down again - and in between lies a moment of falling. What happens when this movement loses its usual order and suddenly becomes unpredictable? the stage becomes a field of experimentation on which the dancers Anna Kempin, Marcella Centenero and Daniel Conant both challenge and succumb to gravity. The heavy, sand-filled sacks that the dancers swing through the air create a powerful tension that unites the dynamics of the bodies and the objects. It is a journey to the edge of stability, to the point where the body gives way but still seeks balance.

TRACK is an exploration of the inevitable: falling and getting up, losing control and regaining it. The moment when you think you've lost the ground beneath your feet - this is exactly where the piece begins. The choreography moves between chaos and order, between play and seriousness, and explores the unpredictable moments in which the body loses its grip. This creates new spaces and points of reference in which the performers orient themselves and thus develop an unusual dynamic, challenging the audience to observe with open eyes how a familiar movement transforms into a completely new form. By dissecting the apparent simplicity of walking, TRACK reveals the complex, often unconscious processes involved in this everyday action. A journey through the gravitational fields of the body unfolds into an evening that rethinks the meaning of walking.
