About the performance

Burn Time is a performance/ installation for up to 16 bodies were the choreography unfolds from the gesture of burning threads. The space is dark and defined by an installation of hanging cotton threads. Gradually - one after the other and sometimes several at the same time - will be set alight, creating a languorous space of incessantly changing and fading. The performers are focused on the flames, the light that illuminates parts of their body. Everything is reduced to a slow and profound pace, influencing the way the audience behaves and moves through the space. When they come in, from the outside – with the pace of they’re lives – they should feel that what’s happening inside is something else, something with other tempo, a sort of meditative state. In a time of ongoing existential and distracting wars between being in the present and future projections, “Burn Time” is a sort of obligation to acknowledge the moment and to indulge into the here and now.
