FORCESFORCES is dance piece that is inspired by the four universal forces that keep our world together: gravity, electro-magnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force. Flemish choreographer ugo dehaes worked over a period of one year with many dancers during very short periods (mostly two weeks) to create scenes that translate physics into powerful physical scenes and amazing images. Each show of FORCES is presented as a collection of short stories: all scenes are shown independently. The playlist varies from venue to venue, and is often chosen in collaboration with the programmer of the inviting theatre. |
couple-likeIn the creation of couple-like, Keren and Ugo had to deal with the initial discomfort of not knowing each other while working on what can be described as a "physical" piece. By starting from kinesthetic propositions they explore different types of physical interactions which propose couple-like-situations . These couple-like-situations are never played-out but are emerging through the eyes of the observer who is invited into their intimate world of trust, friction and tenderness. Couple-like is a journey of two people searching to be 'as one', of two strangers that are trying to meet over and over again and of Ugo and Keren facing each other, observing in the other what each of them is not.
