Two singers and two dancers explore the poetry of simple actions in an over-controlled and over-regulated world, where human relationships are blurred and non-stop multitasking is the norm.
Asfaraswecantell is a transdisciplinary performance in which voice and movement are intertwined. It is a performance for 2 singers and 2 dancers who each transcend their own discipline. In fact, the singers will also move and the dancers will also bring voice. For this work, choreographer and voice artist Ine Claes created a 50-minute voice composition that forms the basis for all other elements such as movement, scenography and lighting. Ine combines different layers, such as voice, movement and space, and experiments with how these layers relate to each other and how they function independently (or not) of each other.
Through various techniques, performer and audience are disoriented and an alienating world of sound and movement is created, as a counterbalance to man's need to structure and compartmentalise everything.
Asfaraswecantell is a portrait of our "24-ongoing" society, exploring the influences of multitasking and non-stop activity on the performer. On the one hand, the performance portrays our busy and controlled existence, in which human relationships are blurred, but on the other, it also explores the poetry of simple action, asking between the lines what exactly we are looking for in the chaos of every day.
