Venue: TQW/Studios
Première

Body and mind hold memory of the future. Living in desire and lamenting in the past. We exist in relation to events that have already happened and will eventually happen. Harboring tension by teetering on memories and anticipations, we are actually thrown into the present moment which my body and mind can\'t actually comprehend. Focusing on elements such as pain, muscular endurance, speed, breath or strength, American performer and choreographer Michael O\'Connor wants to explore the simple limit of the body, the amount of space that we can occupy and the limit of space that we are put into while on stage. In his new solo, the audience witnesses a state that actually slips from our grasp as soon as we realize it.
