COCO DANZA | Being Human Being
About the piece
It’s not about a place, it’s not about a time, it’s not about history or the future, it’s not about what you have or don’t have. Emotions, feelings, sensations, memories, nostalgia, moments, moments, moments, it’s what you are left with… in your last moments. It’s about being human. We find 6 dancers on stage who go through a series of interactions, and go around the space playing with objects, clothing, gestures, looks, and actions. During the piece they develop different relationships between them, and explore from the everyday to the abstract of behavior as humans.
