»shifted realities« was created 2019 and had its world premiere the 28. march 2019 in berlin.
»shifted realities« is a double solo by choreographer toula limnaios and her long-time dancer hironori sugata. the two are about the same age and bound by a deep mutual appreciation. now both are on the stage together, each in their own unique way.
»for example, the body of the dancer stretches out beyond the room, which is at the same time an inner and outer space for him« wrote foucault in 1966. according to the philosopher, it is only the reflection of the human being that makes him understand his whole form through the idea of himself. the double solo pursues this idea of parallel displacement. we do not stand on our own, but affect each other. each one influences the life of the other and a bit the world too, with his deeds, his energy, his impact…
»two artists of extreme strong presence. a dance that looks like itinerancy and dislocation … feelings, memories, longings, fears. fractures pervade the bodies and the dance that seeps into your soul again, beautiful and unsettling, soft and virtuoso, cruel and hard. this is once again an unsettling and stirring evening with fascinating pictures.« rbb kulturradio, frank schmid
»the divided room concept is impressive. … through dancing, the small, delicate woman in this high room turns into a lonely bird that falls on its stomach with open hair. narrowness. limitation. loneliness. but the room is permeable on four sides. hironori sugata, a strong person, trapped inside himself and between four walls; he doesn’t jump out of his own skin. or does he? the fifty-minute sequence of scenes turns the inner and outer spaces…. toula limnaios and hironori sugata create a quiet dance piece of high intensity. with these auratic performers, it always resonates more than what the eye can perceive.« neues deutschland, k. schmidt-feister
