rain

Meytal Blanaru – who audiences admired at our very first BROEK festival in June 2019 – makes choreographic work that always focuses on one moment in time, the memory of her childhood that determined everything. Everything she has made to date is derived one way or another from that memory of sexual abuse.

Her own personal experience and the realisation that other people are carrying similar stories around with them has led to rain. In this performance, Blanaru raises questions around gender conformity, the objectification of the female body and the prominent role of the ‘male gaze’ in our culture. rain is her search for a perspective that does not observe her body from other people’s standpoints, but from her own.

Time it Takes (première)

Time It takes is a new piece by Kinga Jaczewska. It balances between an installation and a performance. It is a continuation of Jaczewska’s search for ways to pin down and shape the time that is not linked to one specific moment.

Time it Takes - Kinga Jaczewska - kunstencentrum nona

In Time It takes, she searches for the continuity and duration of her own body. By focusing on physical weight, she explores various ways of grounding. Can she allow gravity (back) into her body – if only for a moment – in order to resist the speed of advancing time? For example, the key question behind Time It takes by the philosopher Byung Chul-Han is: “What will the tempo of the future be? [...] Will humans, after a short period of whizzing, return to earth as walkers?”

After her previous performances GREY (2017) and Meanwhile (2018), she is still searching for time that is not fragmented by a multitude of brief and lively events, but instead flows onwards in silence. Time that reveals rhythms other than those of a regime focused on production.
