Ben en Vero

What happens when two dancers with very different lives meet? Veronique learned to dance at Platform K, a dance company for dancers with disabilities. Benjamin has disciplined his dancing body through years of ballet and contemporary training. They find each other in a dance that does not shy away from risk. They love to challenge each other, to push themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually to the limits of what they think they are capable of. They want to leave hierarchical structures based on physical abilities, gender, and age far behind. They seek physical contact where it is no longer clear who supports whom or who leads whom. The more they let their bodies speak for themselves, the freer they feel, in and with the dance, with themselves and with each other. In doing so, are they also liberating contemporary dance from its conventions of formality and virtuosity? The result is an intimate portrait of interpersonal contact, multi-layered and fluid.
