RE-WILD – trio of three generations
The RE-WILD project explores the wonder and poetry that arise when three dancers from three different generations meet. It explores the dancers’ strengths and limitations, and how conflict, care, and equality can play out between them. How can the tension between cohesion and diversity bring the audience’s emotions and reflection into play?
The title RE-WILD is a speculation on how a social landscape, like nature, can become a beautiful space for reflection, precisely because of the coexistence of different ‘species’.
