SOMMERAKADEMIE: Avshalom Latucha (IL): Lines, Nets and Traps

In the organizer's words:

What can you expect?

Between geometry and melancholy: in Avshalom Latucha's trio, the dancers try again and again to break out of familiar patterns. In vain? With great energy and dedication, they throw themselves into potentials that are ultimately not fulfilled. Because true change can only come from within.

Avshalom Latucha (IL): Lines, Nets and Traps

Three horizontal lines in space. Straight lines, rigid lines. Their linearity is indisputable, it cannot be questioned. They define the direction, they mark a clear vector. They are the definitive boundaries of a reality that exists in between, and in their presence there are potential changes. Three dancers stand in the room. They stand slightly askew and carry themselves from here to there and nowhere. They do their best to create a new linearity in the space. Again and again they break against the rigid line. They flood the plane in full abandon, but they will come to their senses and see that in the end there is always an end, the line remains a line and the only possible change takes place within
