How does your body feel today? In this time of velocity, violence and chaos, choreographer and performer André Uerba explores intimacy as a practice of being together, along with seven performers and a musician. The performance plays with the boundaries between sharing and withdrawing, movement and stillness, beauty and deception. The desire to make hidden things visible is unfolded by their intimate gestures.
Berlin based choreographer André Uerba experiments with putting on stage in “Æffective Choreography” a possible way of looking into intimacy, bodies and biographies. Inspired by his own experiences and observations, Uerba plays with the idea of rehearsing intimacy. While overlapping performance with his training as a Sexological Bodyworker, his reflections are purely a mindset on the hidden or unsaid – a power force – a fire that can consume or forge.
There’s nothing visionary or animated in the geographies of the bodies on stage: they are performing themselves, seeking to be in the present moment.
