SOMETHING TO DO, SOMEONE TO LOVE, SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO

Verket är baserat på intervjuer där Brummer och dansarna delar personliga berättelser om sökandet efter lycka och vad människor har behövt gå igenom för att hitta den. Berättelserna handlar om sökandet efter trygghet, hälsa och relationer, liksom upplevelser av förlust och ensamhet eller ögonblick av kärlek och triumf. Ett dansverk av Lee Brummer

SCHISM

Schism handlar om begreppet gränser. Trots kontinuerliga försök ser moderna västerländska samhällen fortfarande världen som ett nät av motsatta binärer. I en antingen-eller-värld finns det en viss förväntan om att det ska finnas en tydlig linje – en gräns av något slag, som är tänkt att hjälpa oss organisera världen i begripliga delar. Men frågan kvarstår: var går gränsen mellan man och kvinna, mellan min kropp och världen, mellan medborgarskap och fängelse, mellan oss och de andra? Israel Aloni antar här utmaningen att beskriva världen med alternativa medel.

Something to do, someone to love, something to look forward to

“The three components of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to" - Gordon Livingstone

This is the story of Teuta, a woman who fled her country in search of a better life and future for herself and her family. The piece speaks about exclusion, power dynamics, and having to prove yourself in a new context, over and over again. It’s the story about being an outsider, about longing for home.

Together with the cast, Lee Brummer has created a language of her own. This language is raw and universal, a mixture of communicative movement and storytelling. On stage we see a painful, universally told story unfold, told by the dancers. The result is a performance that in a direct and playful way combines dance with spoken word, text, movement and music.

The piece tells about the somethings to do, the someones to love and the things there are yet to look forward to. All the things which are worth fighting for and are still so relevant in today’s climate.

The spoken text delivered in the work (script based on the original interview) is in English.

Schism

Schism is a multidisciplinary dance work, created by Israel Aloni and cast, that explores our acceptance of the limits of existence and how it affects our perception of the world.

Schism deals with the notion of borders and how they impact the conceptualisation of the world within the hu-WO-man experience. As a gender-fluid individual who is also diasporic-nomadic Jew, Aloni takes on the challenge to describe the world by alternative means.

Schism takes on the challenge of describing the world around us by alternative means - the blurred boundaries between citizenship and prison, between desire and obsession, between reason and madness, between us and them? The intimate performance takes place in a unique eye-shaped space where there is a blurred boundary between the audience and participants.
