Strive

STRIVE

A production of Tanzschmiede / Fucinadanza

Strive is an engaging dance performance about the striving nature in humans:
Four performers on stage are working towards becoming better, bigger, reaching for more. Compounding beats create worlds around the dancers wherein they can play their striving games.
When is striving vanity and when is it needed?

The starting point for the piece came from ‚burn outs’ in the choreographer’s network and the experiences she encountered by locating her base to the Netherlands, where burn outs have sharply increased.

The dance took inspiration from other artworks and related contents cruising the worldwide web: illustrations by Al Margen, the animation film ‚Happiness’ by Steve Cutts, the Rally by Donald Trump (Trump’s speech March 10, 2018), as texts by Kahli Gibran and Gabor Mate.
