An illusion of darkness

A sudden and unannounced event can change the colour of whatever was before. Unannounced – a performance for six dancers – plays with the way your focus shifts when a sudden apparition changes your perspective. The creators zoom in on the deep dark shades of the black box stage to look beyond the surface of the here and now.

The anticipation of what is to come echoes the afterglow of the past.

In previous performances, Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki have explored the concepts of space and the object. They interpret space as fluid and objects as fragments of space. In Unannounced, the focus is on time. Today, we no longer experience time as linear or cyclical, but as something increasingly fragmented, which moves in different directions simultaneously. Avdal and Shinozaki develop a non-linear series of images, which both embody and question this fragmented notion of time.
