The gaze
“…it indicates at its point of emanation the location of the subject, and at its point of contact the location of the object…”*
"Liaisons" is a choreographic work addressing our sense of sight. In piece the potential and the state of the blurred vision is explored.
"Liaisons" is the first performance in a new series of works that are critically reflecting on how our different senses are affected by cultural and political structures.
The work is initiated by choreographer Marie Topp in close collaboration with Julia Giertz (sound), Mårten K. Axelsson (light design), Kenneth Bruun (dance), Olivia Riviere (dance), Igor Dobricic (dramaturgy) and Axel Norén (light).
