What is your groove? And what happens when you let that feeling out? French-Malagasy choreographer Soa Ratsifandrihana opens What You See with the dance solo g r oo v e. She draws on her childhood memories, in which she and her family boldly indulged in the sounds of their favorite songs. This sense of freedom flows throughout the whole performance. In dialogue with the electronic music of Sylvain Darrifourcq and hip-hop composer Alben Murenzi, Soa searches for the soul of her inner rhythm. Through intimate self-embrace, she builds up the tension and invites you to discover your own rhythm.

After this empowering performance, gentle warrior Shishani, together with their pianist and a string quartet, shares songs from their new album Whispers. Through a graceful mix of depth and closeness, Shishani takes you on their personal journey inwards in learning how to listen to your inner voice.

 

Before the the evening breaks loose you can experience touch as an art form in the the one-to-one performance Fetish Black Box, wonder around the beautiful pictures of On Hold and support the waiting time for gender care through embroidering in Our Exquisite Corps. 

Afterwards, you can share your experience of the evening with performance artist fay in the artistic confessional Tell Me What You Really Really Really Think.

Context program: Tell me what you really really really think

Artistic confessional on your performance experience

You just saw a performance. What was your role in it? As an audience member, you are an essential part of the experience. In the artistic confessional Tell Me What You Really Really Really Think, performance artist fay asks you to actively reflect on this responsibility. On three separate evenings, after the performance in Theater Kikker, they invite you to a one-on-one conversation. You won’t see each other, so you can fully focus on your thoughts. In a personal, open conversation, fay encourages you to share your sensations, ideas and feelings, allowing you to paint a clearer picture of your own experience and help deepen the artistic conversation.

Tell Me What You Really Really Really Think can be visited after g r oo v e, Macht vs Seks, This Resistance, Patience and The Basement, and will only be accessible for visitors of these performances. The conversation will be in English.
