"Dwelling in Possibilities" is a hybrid and immersive choreographic piece that focuses on repressive politics and the movements of resistance that are being created in response within society. It explores performers' bodies as living archives of centuries of oppression. "Dwelling in possibilities" proposes to question the emancipatory potential of gestures of protest rethought as powerful performative tools of deliverance. The performance functions as a laboratory of empathy playing on the ambiguity of the stage gesture and questioning the power relationships that are established in society in order to deconstruct them and dream together of the emancipatory fictions to come.
"Dwelling in Possibilities" is part of the « Common Ground » residency programme organized by Komuna/Warszawa and Culture Hub and is accompanied by Danse & Dramaturgie (D&D CH), an initiative of Théâtre Sévelin 36, Lausanne, in partnership with Dampfzentrale Bern, ROXY Birsfelden, Südpol Luzern, Tanzhaus Zürich, TU-Théâtre de l'Usine Genève.
