Synopsis

Intangible Bridges leads the viewer into the private micro-universes of the performers, in which their personal and professional experiences interlace and their ambitions meet obstacles. Fragments of their life stories are connected by intangible threads that are not always aware of, but these threads inexplicably determine their course of action. These threads, these intangible bridges, help us realise that despite our differences we all need each other in order to be ourselves again.

Dance material has been created mostly by performers themselves, with a clear intention from the very beginning: to test their physical and emotional limits in order to create a unique form of visual poetry – the poetry that is the result of their own experience. Using non-verbal theatre and the language of contemporary dance, Intangible Bridges is a puzzle that reveals interrelations and ties between six stories and six different personalities.
