IAM
IAM delves into the event that changes everything, a moment in time that has such power and momentum it affects your past and future with an intensity that has no limits. Exploring the effects this provokes in the people that are closest, the witnesses. Devised from a personal place, IAM celebrates the marks we leave on each other as we pass through life.
Intimate duets unfold as people weave through each other probing for surfaces and space: taking the audience on a journey through a world of fractured timelines charged with the power and fragility of the body.
With speed and eloquence, seven dancers push against tactile lighting by Gerald Tyler and the dynamic soundscapes of Tiago Cerquiera. Their pathways, activating and revealing moments from their own personal histories, allow each to discover the nature of one another. Costumes deliberately crease, showing the traces of these interactions, dance technique is taken to the limits and almost collapses on stage.
Power and pressure resist decline and decay, and from a moment of falling a new momentum is forged, where each discovers who they are.
