InTension

The dance piece "InTension" combines anatomy and architecture as one and the same structure and explores a central commonality of these two worlds: the tensegrity system. The fascial structures of our body are built according to this model, in which rigid parts are connected by elastic fibers.

Fasciae are a hot topic. But what significance does this holistic system, which can also be found in similar forms in architecture, have for the human body?

In «InTension», nineteen heterogeneous dancers delve into the theme of tensegrity, allowing the eye to recognize normally hidden inner features and constructing increasingly complex representations of this dynamic system through dance.
