Like particles pursuing their paths in space, continuously collaborating and networking, five dancers search for spatial harmony by connecting together and sculpting an assemblage of systems, creating an collective organism that, by constantly building up and falling apart, leads to different encounters and constellations. Through the exploration of high levels of physical precision and concentration an atmosphere of tension, focussed on awareness and survival, is established, a journey focussed on meticulousness and rigor which draws the audience’s attention to their perception of time and space, and the experience of the here and now.
 
The creative duo behind Mesh, Maria Campos from Spain and Guy Nader from Lebanon, first met the company members last Autumn and held a workshop for them at the Movein Studio.

Moderato cantabile is a story about passion, about a lack; it is the feeling of emotional life, it is an attempt to narrate love without filling it, but simply by outlining the map which lies beneath it. On the stage, a room placed outside time and space which lives according to established and fixed patterns. The characters move into this “place of elsewhere”, leaving indelible imprints, tracing paths which become furrows waiting for a place of freedom, though illusory and temporary.

Prey by the Yvette Bozsik Company was inspired by the poem by Janus Pannonius with the title 'Prayer to the God Mars for Peace'. Seeking the limits of expressive opportunities of dance, Yvette Bozsik demonstrates the fall of an empire, the destruction of a culture, and people’s hatred towards each other, which has been wiping out cultures from our universality for centuries. The inspiration for the performance comes from the cult surrounding the god Mars, of the sacrificial rituals and their bygone solemnity, the myths and rituals of the Roman era, the common dance and its divine power and faith. The performance explores the relationship between community and the individual, life and death, seeking the answer for the human cycle. The performance was created using the music of contemporary Paris based Swiss composer Philippe Heritier, specifically composed for this occasion.
