Mi-un ni d’eux (1/2 One Nor Two)
(2008)Choreography: Luc Dunberry (Berlin)
Should I follow my head or my heart?
Introduction
This choreography delves into this inner dialogue between our rational self and our emotional self, between the cerebral and the instinctive, between learned and innate. Survival of the fittest. Power struggles. A constantly shifting quest for balance.
In a visual environment that suggests the denaturilzation of the human animal and the artificiality of the human condition, intelligent creatures with exposed hearts face off, driven by the instinct for survival and the quest for harmony.
