This dance theatre piece explores emotional distance within the family and the resulting desire for separation and independence. Family closeness is experienced as intense and overwhelming, accompanied by a growing sense of discomfort. Step by step, the emotional pressure builds until the accumulated feelings finally erupt without restraint.

What remains after this outburst is a sense of numbness — a state of simply functioning, where emotions become difficult to access or feel. In contrast, encounters with friends reveal a different kind of closeness: a space filled with warmth, vitality, and genuine connection, where intimacy feels effortless and free.

Yet with the return to the family environment, the desire for distance resurfaces. The inner resistance remains, while unspoken tension continues to linger in the room.

Is reconciliation still possible?

Personal Shoutout:

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my dancers. They not only spent countless hours with me in the studio bringing my vision to life on stage, but also supported me creatively and emotionally during moments when I doubted myself. Creating this dance theatre piece together with them has been an incredibly meaningful and joyful experience.

I would also like to thank Julia-Kira Hoffmann for composing and performing an original song for this production.

Finally, I want to thank Cécile Lehner and Audrey Moreno for providing me with rehearsal spaces at Dance Gallery and the Chibu-Studio.

I could not have realized this project on my own.

Thank you.
