as an exercise in going to the essence of their art in relation to society united sorry did a budhistic exercise to make a statement as a zen drawing: in one stroke, in a meditative state. it was a very short performance in the corridor between the dance studio’s of Tanzquartier where a lot of dancers daily come to practice their body. the two statements were: Frans: ‘only if you can laugh about yourself, you can dance.” And Robert: “only if you can die on stage you belong there.”. of course these lines are paradoxical: because you can only laugh baout yourself when you are deadly serious sometimes. And you are only ready to die, when you have fully lived.

This performance was part of the Insel: Gravity – Skizzen zu Tanz und Gesellschaft. march 2009 Tqw
