PLAYFIGHT

The performance Playfight invites us to take a fresh look at our play instinct, which is consciously lived out and celebrated in the performance. Four performers and a musician invite us to immerse ourselves in their world of centrifugal and concentric force.

Embodied playfulness lets them wrestle with each other, push and pull each other. How can this be about attraction and demarcation at the same time? In their polarity, playful play and aggressive struggle are an integral part of Playfight.
