Aliveness

Two dancers driven by their individual principles, two counterforces on a neverending cycle of breathing, being out of breath and reconfiguring. Mari Rosendahl’s duet piece focuses on the questions of how it feels to exist and whether one thing can exist without the other.

Oh! Partisan, I’m leaving with you,
because I feel here dying.

If I die as Partisan, you must bury me.

Dig a grave in the mountain, under the shadow of a beautiful flower.

This is the flower of a Partisan, died for freedom.

– An excerpt from the old Italian folk song Bella Ciao.
