Stills from Ropes, 2018, with Freie.Performance.Praxis, Oktogon, Dresden
All performers had the following instructions available: “The performers encounter each other and pick a rope together. Each performer choses one end of the rope and ties it around their body. Subsequently a constant negotiation of acceptance and distance takes place as the performers move through space tied together in that way.”
Excerpt from the publication Freie.Performance.Praxis, 2020:
“The group used the Oktogon exhibition space in Dresden for the performance titled Ropes. The performers enter the room, choosing ropes in pairs. Connected this way, they examine the relation of space and distance. They enter into a connection with each other which shifts and develops with their decision-making.”
Further explorations of this work took place in 2018 at L a V I L A L A V I L A V I L A L A L A, LaVila, Prag, Czech Republic
