“What if dancing were to burn up its passion? Inflame itself and turn to ashes? What if dancing were the remains of a fire, no longer flammable, airborne matter, black in powder form, immediately grey?” asks Cristina Caprioli. Under the large moveable truss of the installation “ASKA” a wide open space emerges. Dancers slip and slide beneath the shifting ceiling, in rough dialogue with the live electronic music by Yoann Durant. Sometimes a slight breeze will pass you by, or else a lighthouse will blind you from afar. Perhaps you’ll find yourself lost at sea or walking on a foreign planet.

On Friday 19 August, audiences are invited to stay late for the one-time-only towel-flipping performance “Once Over Time”, followed by the immersive concert “Until Midnight” with visuals and soundscapes by Asher Tuil. On Saturday 20 August, in the main hall, a flock of dancers perform “Always Sometimes”, a piece in the making, madly in love with repetition.
