What are we looking for together through dance? A performance on common ancestry and the generations remaining in the bodies and surviving the passage of time.
“brother” is a creation for seven performers made up of constant mimicry, which generates movement, behaviours and patterns. Non-verbal vocabulary arises, and over time it regenerates and changes through individual compromise or unlocking. Movable bridges between now and faraway emerge and fade away. On a macro-scale it is a reflection on heritage, memory, codes, and learning and transmission processes. “brother” is also a ‘bother’. A shot at a common pulse, a feeling of belonging and affection, an echo of outside forces, and at bottom an acknowledged frailty that stems from recognising loss and finitude. Staying overnight in this place that is done by doing.
