Review: Project No. 2191

“Throughout the one-and-a-half-hour performance, lighting was used to create spaces and atmospheres that limited the relationship between the audience and the performers. I liked this, and the other subtle and surprising ways of the performance to “engage” the audience. I didn’t feel any embarrassment or the need to escape.

At the beginning of the work, movement separated the dancers from each other. As I sat in the audience, I thought something like this: This is what it looks like when each of us isolates ourselves in our own bubble and is only interested in our own inner self. And when your own reflection in the mirror is the most important thing in the world. That’s how horrible it is. Everyone should see this.

But there was more to it. At some point, I found myself projecting the history of my own corporeality onto some of the dancers. My eyes were drawn to bodies and movements that I could identify with.”
