'Tis this, no other, but this.

The performance unfolds in a ‘garden’ where a dance theorist, a voice artist, a visual artist and three dancers coexist, along with everyday objects, symbolic representatives of our nature/culture. In this garden of perpetual fragility and agency, everything happens as for it is. In the obscure times of uncertainty, neither the individual ‘I’ nor the collective ‘we’ suffice- not anymore. The audience is invited to enter a state of mind of experiencing and feeling, perceptions shift continuously leading us to a ‘topos’ which is familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. This creation deals with the materials that build our shared present: the unexpected, the disordered, the loss of meaning, the immaterial, the urgent. Hence the ironic title in this time of vagueness, ‘Tis this, no other but this.
