A DANCE PIECE by VAYA

2024

17 min for outdoor spaces / theater

“Where do I stop? Where does what surrounds me begin?” (a)ROUND is a dynamic & captivating dance piece about turning, infinity and the question of beginning and end. Two bodies interweave, forming a delicately balanced system, almost seeming to hypnotise each other and the audience through constant rotation. They challenge physical limits and engage in a dialogue with gravity, centrifugal force and balance. A physical reflection on the fleeting, fragile yet powerful nature of life. Nothing stays the same, everything is in motion and in permanent change. “(a)ROUND” was created as a result of the first research phase for the piece “viendo viento”. It now is a short piece suitable for outdoor stages, alternative spaces or theaters.
