The work in progress "Silver Lining" opposes the discomfort and fear of chronic pain to the playfulness a well-functioning body provides. Inspired by the sensations of pain, and alternative ways of care, the performers go through a journey between frustration, playfulness, freedom, and restriction. By exploring comfort and empathy in each other, they learn to transform a limitation into a motor for virtuosity, expression, and self-fulfillment.
"Silver Lining" merges breaking and contemporary dance into an innovative movement language emphasizing the relationship between the dancers through sensitivity. The piece will premiere in Mai 2025 at K3 in Hamburg.
