Collaborating across borders and disciplines, Canadian choreographer Ame Henderson and Croatian director Matija Ferlin are known for their playfully rigorous conceptual performances. In this new duet, they play with light and darkness to explore the felt experience of endings – political, social and personal ones. The “snap to black” and the revealed tableaux that follow become a motif exposing the impossibility of controlling the narrative. From endless endings gradually emerges the feeling of a beginning.
