In “Retrograde,” a landscape is presented that makes no distinction between the human body and the body of the environment. A community lost in the wilderness is trapped in a vicious cycle of collapse and recovery. This constant, absurd cycle of destruction and rebuilding requires a body that is both soft and hard, ready to transform as it collapses, disintegrates, and reemerges.

This ritual of repetition culminates in exhaustion, and ultimately, softness, support, and intimacy emerge. Throughout the journey, symbols, gestures, and sounds associated with folk and tradition seem to merge with the space, briefly raising questions about the nature of collectivity and suggesting an unbearable coexistence of pain and hope.

An event as part of the 12th Leipzig Dance Theatre Weeks.
