Korniag Theatre: Latent Man – Sophiensæle | Independent Theater in Berlin

Powerful physical theater from Belarus: using their bodies, nine dancers present contemporary gender specific and sexual concepts. In a game of the sexes the actors: oscillate between the poles of ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’. The dance reaches into extremes: contact causes injury, hugs become an act of choking and those who want to experience love drop dead as if poisoned.

DIRECTION Yevgieny Korniag DANCE Nikita Bondarenko, Grazyna Bykova, Anna Gospodarik, Andrej Novik, Igor Shugalejev, Ivan Strelcov, Pavel Terehov, Julia Verhovskaja
