From Paris
and Amsterdam-based choreographer Ivana Müller comes the multiple prize-winning While
We Were Holding It Together, a mind-bending theatrical excursion into
the richly interpersonal nature of perception. Five actors strike motionless
poses on stage, frozen like monuments.
“We are statues in a museum,” one muses,
“soldiers in a mine field,” another asserts, as this tableau vivant quietly
begins to interpret itself. While We Were Holding It Together offers
a profound and genuinely funny testament to the unspoken conversations
that transpire between art and interpreter.
Wednesday evening’s performance will be followed by a post-performance
discussion with choreographer Ivana Müller and Crossing the Line co-curator, Simon
Dove.
While We Were Holding It Together is produced by LISA in co-production
with Sophiensaele Berlin, Productiehuis Rotterdam (Rotterdamse Schouwburg),
Dubbelspel (30CC and STUK Kunstencentrum Leuven), and financially supported
by the Dutch Funds of the Performing Arts, the Goethe Institute, and the
Mondriaan Foundation.
Thinking of Each Other Like Good
Friends Would
To complement While We Were Holding It Together, Crossing the
Line has commissioned a new video work by Ivana Müller. This piece, Thinking
of Each Other Like Good Friends Would, will run continuously 24/7
throughout the festival in the lobby of Dance Theater Workshop.
