Installatie, Specials & festivals
Two bodies draw close in the longing to be near one another. In an intimate choreography influenced by kink, punk, Shibari, gay shadow dancing and pogo, Sheena McGrandles and Eli Cohen explore their desires
The performance reflects timeless lesbian experiences, inspired by women’s erotic literature from across the ages. In a pastel-coloured landscape developed with visual artist Anna Mirkin, their shifting encounters ripple through the space and enthral the audience. Playful and engaging As long as you want is a profound choreographic meeting with an impulse of moving toward someone who isn't yet close enough.
What You See Festival is the performance festival about gender and identity. Here you'll find dance, theater, workshops, and exhibitions from artists from both home and abroad.
With the theme If Not Now, When?! we reflect with the audience on the present time. What You See brings together diverse perspectives and makes space for unheard voices and unique art experiences.
