TØRST
A powerfull duet for two male dancers, grouchy electronic musik and a scenography that brings you to the desert planes.
..excellent dance...yet another very comprehensive and succesfull interactive creation
4 stars, Vibeke Wern, BerlingskeTØRST is the danish word for thirst.
The title itself provokes an almost physical sensation – a bodily urge fueled by an essential need.
TØRST is a powerful duet for two male dancers, a duet on human drive and survival. Two bodies in a place where strategic thinking has ceased and instinct has taken over – a place between vulnerable intimacy and untamed forces.
The Scenography is simple yet very convincing: a floor completely covered with corrugated cardbord that both brings your mind to the vast desert planes and also generate a special dry sound every time the dancers move. Combined with video scenography of sand particles that slides across the stage, the scenography creates a unique visual universe.
