ANDREA K. SCHLEHWEIN (AT)
LIGHT THINGS + DARK THINGS 
 

light things + dark things is a choreographed ninety-minute action that is bare of any sound additions. Arranged as an installation in which the boundary between the actions-filled stage space and the “untouched” audience space disappears. The audience enters the site of the action where the objects and the dancers move and are being moved in their immediate form of being-there and being-such.

In her latest piece, Andrea K. Schlehwein reveals the attraction of interpersonal disruption that takes place at the carnal boundary of the body and penetrates deep down to the bones. What is destroyed and remains destroyed in the violent interaction is nevertheless impalpable, as the human being’s capacity for physical regeneration is more reliable than its resilience. 

light things + dark things is a highly intense, emotionally challenging dance poem that offers a courageous and ultimately conciliatory look at our (inter)personal abysses.
