Description
Don’t miss this first look at a stunning new piece from Kunst-Stoff artistic director Yannis Adoniou and guest choreographer from Sweden, Pontus Lidberg: “as we close their eyes.” This is a work about adaptation, about the way absence, deprivation, or unexpected shifts in capacity, can become a doorway, offering access to otherwise unseen gifts and deep abilities within the human body and the human spirit.
Join these two talented choreographers and an expanded Kunst-Stoff as they embark on their journey with The LightHouse, a vital institution in our community whose mission it is to provide solutions for those living with vision loss, and to promote the independence, equality and self-reliance of people who are blind or visually impaired. Taking blindness itself and their experience of training at The LightHouse as their inspiration, the artists are developing a work that expands the perception of dance from a visual form to a tactile and olfactory experience.
