Breakdance meets Contemporary Dance: Combining urban and contemporary dance through 'orderly movement', the two dancers created new movement patterns which is the common ground of their collaboration and their specific movement language. They work together in the frame of improvised performances and choreographed pieces, collaborating with different realities. Their collaboration is based in artistic research, in which dance has not only an aesthetic and performative aspect, but is an instrument to study oneself and facilitate growth. In the frame of the audience talk following the performance we can dive into work and research methods, share questions and get to know different perceptions from fellow audience members.

Über das Stück

The scent of the Fog

'The Scent of the Fog' is a show created by Elisa Spagone and Marian Codrut Cojocaru; two dancers belonging to different backgrounds, join urban and contemporary dance, through orderly movement, a new style of dance and expressing created by the company. It’s a show which speaks about love, an apparently easy but inscrutable theme. Two individuals will go on a journey through themselves and then maybe really find themselves, challenged by the game of life, a game that we all have to play albeit unaware. The fog is a symbol of passage, change and transformation, since it constantly changes according to its density. It represents the rise of the hero, who losing his/her points of reference, from chaos finds the way back to him/herself and to the other.
