FASTER (!)

In the organizer's words:

Time is an inexhaustible energy, but it cannot be renewed. How do we deal with this limit? What do we do with the time we have left? What do we do when the end threatens? Run towards the abyss? Pause for a moment? Or contemplate life with pleasure? Cling to others? Or live what is at our core?

FASTER (!) plays with the idea of a community falling apart at the moment of its threat and asks how it can support each other. In a collective pause? A last collective breath? Can time perhaps be stopped after all?

Eight people on stage, eight personalities, eight life models, emotional worlds, personal backgrounds and styles. A heterogeneous group of dancers mixes hip hop, krump, b-boying, footwork, experimental, contemporary and physical theater, while the two musicians work with voice, loop, beatbox, rap, instruments and vocals.

FASTER (!) is a bow to the plurality of styles and personalities and a snapshot of inner states in the face of an unleashed time rushing past.

From the press
"Spectacular dance piece overwhelms the theater audience. (...) Modern dance theater par excellence, full of physicality and decorated with impressive breakdance interludes. This soon becomes apparent in the fascinating solos of the virtuoso actors, who wrestle individually with their demons of transience." (Sven Thielmann, WAZ)
