ICK–Emio Greco/Pieter C. Scholten (NL) – We the Eyes
https://www.ickamsterdam.com/
Contemporary dance
WE, the EYES are the survivors of a pandemic in search of the better true life. It’s time for a tilted look. For that, we need to relearn see. To the music of Pink Floyd, Beethoven, Xenakis, Arvo Pärt and to the ghosts words of the ancient (wise) Greeks, laced with language of today, perform 11 dancers the overtone fired by the beats of a percussionist. They form the main characters and the choir. They are the masses and the individual, the guilt and the innocence. An oracle is going to stir them up on their journey through the Heart of darkness and deter, encourage and discourage. This oracle is a fluid identity, whichin different guises and genders tries to influence the group and plant, disrupt and mislead wrong ideas. As a helper but also as a helper charlatan. As a seer or as a deceitful oracle, as a pedagogue or demagogue, asphilosopher or liar, he/she leads the way in 7 stops. WE, the EYES is a micro-society that at some point comes out of nowhere arises and brings bodies together in the here and now. Together we discover who “WE” are. What our identity consists of. Why we (should) be able to cope with fate challenge. That we can determine the future through our history.
