Collateral Damage Company: Us, You, Me, Living?

How does it feel to be human? Understand, and lose it all in a journey that explores movement hand in hand with words and emotions. Open closed doors and explore the alien unveiling from human interactions and miscommunication. Dancing the absurdity of today’s miscommunication along the emotionally conflicted human poetry, stumbling into controversy, if not disagreement, without forgetting to fall in love, to lust and play the waiting game, Us, You, Me, Living? shamelessly unveils communication behind closed doors, an everyday struggle that reaches all and no one:

One scene, three performers, and the tumultuous sea of the emotional overwhelming. The pedestrian frames a poetic catharsis, while dance flirts with the physically hyperbolic. Fragmentation becomes key over a dinner that surely announces the contemporary hecatomb of feelings. The intrapersonal becomes public, the body’s exhaustion an irremediable urgency.

Premiered as part of the Resolution Festival, at The Place Theatre on 16th January 2020.
