Pausing

Mousonturm Studio 1

Performance/Dance

Transitory, not really definable movements attempt to represent the equally fleeting moment. And as impossible as its representation may seem at first, it is nevertheless tangible, floating in the space between dance and movement, between imaginary scenes and fleeting excerpts of reality. Ioannis Mandafounis and May Zarhy allow us to take part in their search for the short moment in which the past becomes present and then suddenly becomes future. Pausing means stopping to find one’s direction, for the next movement and for a new moment.
