Moving You

Moving You is not your everyday show. There are no characters. There is no story.

There are only bodies and objects; bodies lending a voice to objects, objects leading bodies. The performing area no longer is a place for reproducing movements or telling stories, but the place par excellence for giving existence to possible relations, for giving space to interpretations, for making the spectator an accomplice in an absurd, funny, dramatic emotional or critical experience.
In this sense Moving Youis not a show that shows, but a show that incites experience: the performance space is not defined, but constantly on the move. The performers are not characters, the objects are not what they seem. In the gap between them an open space comes into existence. A space you can make your own.
