The performance is also about trust in each other. This applies quite literally to the dancers. Gradually, one of them climbs onto a stack of tables and falls backwards, trusting the rest of the dancers to catch her. With their hands. Choreographer Josephine van Rheenen: “I wanted to make a piece about it because I think grasping is a super essential movement in life. One of the first things we do as children is grab things. Your hands are a way to get to the world around you. Gripping can be intimate, hard, desperate, warm, there’s a lot of emotion in the hands.”
