<<Ein unheimlich Anblick, ein karikaturbafter Gespenstereffekt…Ein Sein, an der Schwelle zum Nicht-Sein.>> Melanie Suchy, Frankfurter Allgemeiner Zeitung
Drawn to an intensity that lurks under the surface of every encounter, Reaching towards… looks at the space of relation between body, sound, and surface. With a sound score that rumbles through the sound of crushing paper, the performers find themselves in what could be a dystopian setting, the shape of the body organises its self around the texture and movement of the encounter, sometimes both animal and human, two bodies meet and become one.
