About Let*s dance
In 'Let*s Dance', four dancers stand on a raised blue platform, surrounded by a melodic atmosphere of classical music and 90s techno. The situation is unclear. Are they in anticipation of a party, or just lingering in the mood of a night gone by? And could this blue platform be a symbol of our blue planet? It remains uncertain. The dancers linger in every corner of their illuminated "home". Their bodies merge with the pulsating beats of techno as they are driven by the powerful music. The central theme is love - the love between people and the love for nature with all its communication possibilities. The action is always accompanied by chaos and an apparent attempt to create order. At the end of the performance there is a feeling of euphoria, inspired self-liberation and tenderness. The pulsating sounds of 90's techno reverberate, making the audience realise that limitations and freedom can create a transformative and liberating experience.
