NANOHACH
If there is no way of working, one can at least move. If there is no freedom of speech, one can still move. If there is no communication, one can still submit energy and information. Through movement, while exhausted, there is something very simple present. The suspension of your outbreath brings me closer.
"...In the new -gracerunners- senses are bombarded by audio and visual input in a sleek, powerful and captivating expression of the exhaustion and feeling of exclusion produced in the individual by contemporary society´s pressures" (H. Beneš-McGadie).
“...the last performance of a choreographer Karen Foss is a grand testimony about the limits of a physical strain. … gracerunners – is at all points a thought-out performance with a definite message.” (Sigrid Ø. Svendal / deník Dagbladet, článek Sterkt løp (Silný běh)
