WHILE WE STRIVE
Exhilarating in its intensity and magical in its simplicity, WHILE WE STRIVE gives new life to the relationship between sound and movement.
Shifting between rustling murmur, deep sub-bass beats and percussive, powerful rhythms, three performers exude a tremendous amount of energy. They circle their arms, undulate, bounce and tremble with their bodies.
Setting the senses in motion, WHILE WE STRIVE blends everything into a riveting symbiotic experience: seeing becomes hearing and hearing becomes seeing.
WHILE WE STRIVE is awarded with the 2nd jury prize at [re]connaissance 2016 in Grenoble.
