The new choreography by the cie. toula limnaios is conceived as a diptych and approaches the unspoken and silence. Two quartets, standing in contrast and harmony with one another, only reveal their meaning through their interplay.

Things that remain unspoken do not disappear. Silence is loud. It carries memories and experiences. It spreads through our bodies and meets us in the other. »an elephant in the room« follows the traces of what remains unspoken between us.

»All truths that are kept silent become poisonous.« (Friedrich Nietzsche)

premiere 21 oct
