Sarcasms

Contemporary ballet is progressive, experimenting and advancing dance as a genre. It presents a singular and up-to-date view of the body within the modern-time context, often raising existential questions. Such traits characterise the triple bill made up of works by Andrey Kaydanovskiy, Hans van Manen and Eyal Dadon.

In his new work, Kaydanovskiy delves into timeless existential questions: Where are we running to? Where or from what? Life is like a race from birth to death. Like being on a hamster wheel with a carrot on a stick. You always wait for things to finally calm down. You have the desire to stop time. Is it even possible?

When catastrophe meets sarcasm, a unique tension emerges, highlighting our ability to find light even in darkness. This contrast reflects the human struggle against adversity, showing how we search for meaning or solace even when things feel dire.
