In René, the audience sits around a rectangular stage on which two dancers explore freedom within a narrow frame. Playing with the geometry of bodies and gravity, they sway up and down, merging into a perfectly synchronised duo that creates a hypnotic mirror illusion. Their precise, fluid coordination is reminiscent of the regular motion of a Newtonian pendulum, drawing the audience into a performance in which the performers offer themselves to a refined, highly physical choreography. The serial music, with its repetitive motifs and subtle changes, creates a fascination in harmony with the dancers' fluid transitions in this small space. Underlining the excitement of variation and diversity in what may seem to remain unchanged, René reveals the human aspects of what it truly means to collaborate, to achieve and to fail – never alone but always together.
Recommended for the whole family from age 10.
