HELGE LETONJA / STEPTEXT DANCE PROJECT (DE)

ZÄH
2005

What does it mean to be „zäh“? Is it just being tough? Or to touch barriers and overcome them? Together with his performers, the choreographer Helge Letonja explores the wounds which the modern way of life has left. With humour, he examines what is washed ashore in a rapidly changing social landscape – torn between the undertow of inner retreat and the whirlpools of competing groups. At times, the dancers drive themselves to the limits of exhaustion. With perseverance. And with no compromise.
