“How A Spiral Works” is a powerful and hypnotic exploration of care under pressure. How do we take care of ourselves—and each other—when everything around us spins out of control? What does compassion look like at great heights, in the middle of a storm, or when pain creeps into the body? In this intimate duet, one dancer, one aerialist, and one rope are bound together in an ever-evolving relationship. Their movements circle each other in a delicate choreography of trust, resistance, and release. They hang, spin, support, and respond—tethered to one another in a physical and emotional spiral. Blending hair hanging, aerial rope, contemporary dance, and hauntingly reimagined Baltic folk music, “How A Spiral Works” is a poetic act of care and resistance. It asks us to slow down, to feel, and to witness how powerful softness can be when it rises against pressure. Created by renowned British director Jason Dupree, Latvian choreographer Alise Madara Bokaldere, and the extraordinary Lithuanian aerialist Izabele Kuzelyte With their debut performance, they have struck a resonant chord within the contemporary scene and we are proud to be part of their extensive European tour. |
