any attempt will end in crushed bodies and shattered bones
Jan Martens / GRIP & Dance On Ensemble
this event is part of
December Dance 2020
What happens when we swim against the tide in an act of defiance? When we suddenly stop and distance ourselves from the others? When we rebel against ourselves? To the sound of turbulent protest songs and military-style marching music, a super cast of seventeen dancers investigate the mechanism of resistance. any attempt (...) is an exhausting, emotional choreography, an ode to civil disobedience.
