Charlie

Charlie is a solo performance born from collective experimentation and an extensive, in-depth research process. It places wheelchair-using dancer at its center. A performer with a non-normative body offers a groundbreaking and inspiring perspective on patience and openness by sharing the experiences of his everyday life. Free of taboos, the performance provides an intimate glimpse into his world, rethinks the conventions of contemporary dance, emphasizing the importance of inclusion while questioning normative expectations, social conventions, and the role of art itself. It balances between function and expression, exploring and redefining the ways in which these can be crossed. It plays with reality and artificiality, pushing the boundaries of capability. At times, it embraces limitations and transforms them into dance. It is an exploration of presence on stage, the interplay of attention, perception, and imagination focused on the body.
