Quote from an audience member after the show: “I have never laughed so much at a Contemporary Dance Performance!”

Making Impressions and Other Failures is a duet of misplaced gestures in a failed attempt to connect. With humor, awkwardness and slight extremes, the work looks at two performers who are fed by surges of energy and an inability to inhibit impulses. An ecstatic sense of character and idiosyncratic gesture set them apart, creating distance while also exposing a strange sense of vulnerability. “Making Impressions and Other Failures” ist ein Duett, das sich mit ekstatischen und eigenartigen Gesten beschaäftigt als einer bizarren Art sich in Bezug zu einer anderen Person zu verhalten oder einen Eindruck zu hinterlassen, waährend man tiefere Schichten seiner selbst preisgibt.
