A broken handbreak is a classic motif in nightmares relating to loss of control, inability to stop, heading towards calamity. On the other hand, it’s also a metaphor for freedom and speed. However, does a movement have only one direction, forward?
The latest production by Miet Warlop is a hypnotic dance ritual, a night of improvised music and poetry reading. Together with two musicians, the artist crosses over the border between corporal, spatial and situational control and the loss thereof.
