Antibodies
Constantin Trommlitz
The Netherlands
Antibodies transmits the raw honesty and reality of pain.
Two dancers share their unfiltered relationship with pain - sometimes isolated in suffering, sometimes finding care and acceptance in each other.
Inspired by chronic pain in the dancer‘s lower back and foot, Constantin transforms the limitation of pain into a motor for self-expression and virtuosity.
The duet merges elements of Breaking and Contemporary dance into an innovative movementlanguage that emphasizes the sensitive relationship between the dancers and their own stories of pain.
