“I knock on the door of the stone.
It’s me. Let me in.
“I have no door,” says the stone.”
(Wislawa Szymborska)
How do acceptance and rejection, trust and doubt influence a relationship? What does attention, understanding, and selflessness mean in this context? The new piece Let Us Stay by Anita Twarowska and Murillo Basso is the second part of a dance trilogy, following For The Two of Us. For Us All (premiere in 2018 at fabrik Potsdam). The performers remain true to the theme of interpersonal encounters and take a step further by exploring the motivations behind maintaining a connection. How far does one go to stay? And how open is the willingness to see and accept the other person as they are? Body, language, and music merge into a choreography that allows space for emotions. In an intimate setting with the audience, the sensitive and vulnerable moments are explored, creating a deep and honest interplay.
