  • Intercontinental is a piece for one performer and 7 mattresses without any music. It is a changing landscape of images. It is a constant build up and decomposition of scenes, actions and logic. It is a search for intimacy in the absence of the other person. It is very matter of fact. It is a simple gymnastics. It is a practice of being sensitive. It is an attempt to find comfort in presence of imaginary people.

    The event is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland.
    The performance in the frame of Polish-Israeli Choreographic Exchange.

    Tickets available at Old Brewery information points (ul. Półwiejska 42).
