Über die Komplexität von Leer[…]stellen

About the complexity of empty spaces

 

Allow time to pass until a certain condition occurs.

​

Bridge the gap until something goes further.

Wait.

​

In no other situation do we become more aware of time than in moments of waiting.

Waiting is the experience of time.

Waiting is an existential and at the same time everyday experience. Sometimes completely absurd.

Everyone is waiting, almost always: for the right moment, for something to end, for the bus, for true love or for it to finally be your turn.

​

How we perceive the time that passes while we wait is completely different - depending on external circumstances, how and what we wait for.

​

In the site-specific dance performance by the duo fine line moves, the dancers Agnetha Jaunich and Mareike Steffens deal with the complexity of waiting, the passage of time and the gaps that open up in the moments when one thing has already happened and the other is not yet.

A piece about pausing and enduring, 

Restlessness and immobility, 

Unexpected and repetitive. 

A piece about the complexity of empty spaces.
