How should we live our lives? Fearing bodies. Longing to explode. Longing to experience something. Longing for something to happen. So they hold on to each other. To feel something. To feel alive. The more we want to feel together, the more we feel alone. Three bodies. One field. Fear connects them. And fear takes them apart.
"Two of us are hugging each other. Searching for hope and trust in the physical togetherness. Longing for an increasing self-power. Simply seeking for a different feeling than fear."
This performance is about the tireless fight for something to happen in life. And the disillusionment that if something happens, it won't be the right thing. That the more you want to experience the less you experience. A performance that tries to understand what drives people and how we can commit ourselves to something. A performance with three people who want to be together. Who believe in the strength of "TOGETHERNESS" and who finally fail. It questions the way we connect and communicate with each other. It is about three fully committed people and the consequence of this commitment. Can one lose oneself in a group? Can one give up one's own thoughts? The performance shows the mechanism of tragedy and the inability to really connect to each other. During the performance, the performers become more and more vulnerable, carrying each other, lifting each other, helping each other, kissing each other, touching each other, loving each other, feeling each other, moving each other - until they can no longer stand each other.
Tabea Martin (1978) is a prolific choreographer and performer based in Amsterdam and Basel. After the modern theatre dance study at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten and choreography at the Rotterdamse Dansacademie, she started producing her own, awarded works in which sociological questions occupy the central place as they look into human behaviour in different contexts. Tabea is more focused on the creative process than on the end result: losing one's way, confronting the unknown, leaping hurdles, dealing with emerging emotions, or discovering the unexpected. Tabea is also interested in collaborating with other artists, filmmakers, actors, visual artists, and performers. In the last five years, she has choreographed Sofort geniessen (2010), Duet for Two Dancers (2010), Out of Proportion (2011), Empire of Illusions (2012), Is There Anybody Out There (2013), and Field (2014).
