to soak weapons – Josefine Ehs and Siri Viola 

Can you remind me how sticks are made into weapons and not soaked paper and melting besties?I will remind you again and again and again I will let you remind me.

An intimate research between randomness and order, freedom and a possible opposite of it. A moment of meeting different parts of self and an enquiry into ancestory as companionship as we find the steps we want to take. Storytelling helps us as to keep things together and yet to set us free.

“The dancefloor is a map of invisible gaps, spaces between us that stretch, close, and reshape with every step. Through the rhythm, we stalk connection, tracing each other’s movements, marking the space with presence, absence, and return. Each shift, no matter how subtle, sends ripples through the shared movement, redefining relationships between individuals and the collective.

This house dance piece explores the delicate art of stalking – a game of improvisation where dancers listen, respond, and twist into each other’s flow. Movements land and take off together, yet each dancer exists in a world slightly apart, moving through the music on parallel frequencies. It’s an ongoing negotiation between distance and unity, between mechanical precision and organic fluidity.”

“wait… is everything possible?” – eva trapeznicova 

sometimes i wonder “uiooooууууюў?” and then instantly respond to myself “uuuaaa!”. these are good days – days of trust and synchronicity. on such days i don’t need to make an effort to feel connected to anyone in front of me. do you know the feeling, in your own way?”
