About the performance
Balancing between composition and improvisation where the live-event takes place, aiming for a perfect pitch, a gentle dance reveals itself.
After 15 years in artistic research Rasmus Ölme returns to the stage, reuniting the cast from his debut work This is not a test (2001).
There is no point. There is work. Collaboration.
A dance, like a dance. And a concert. There is a dance piece. With text.
Once. A place. Not here.
I recall plastic. Ventilator. Soda machine.
Maybe a road
Maybe a river
Face to the ground
From side to side.
From out to out.
The floor grazes the fingers. The fingers brush the heart. When the body dances, I realize I’m not it.
Not mine.
Loose your self to dance.
There is no point.
