DIMORA








































































This full-length, site-specific performance explores how a group of individuals inhabits the same space - in this case the minimalistic and spiritual environment of the St. Fidelis Church in Stuttgart. From Rituals, to exhilarating exploits of joy, through tenderness and violence, the multi-generational cast undergoes a journey of living and sharing, of connection and severance.

You are this clumsy intensity that is a soul
JORGE-LUIS BORGES











Giaquinto’s DIMORA emphasises how these spaces are always defined by the ones we share them with, as his choreographic language portrays the individual and the collective in their entangled yet conflicted relationship - Not just the space around us, but the space between us, within us, is what we inhabit (Giaquinto).  
LINNEA BAKE
















The places we live in move with us as we move within them, like a continuously living entity. DIMORA portrays this in the dancers’ movements that alternate from exhilaration and joy, to violence and tenderness, revealing the way our bodies experience and inhabit spaces. 

SARIE NIJBOER

























Nor the intimacy of your forehead
Nor the privacy of your body 
Nor the succession of your life assuming words or silences
Will be as mysterious a favour 
As watching your implied dream 
Thrown into stillness 
I’ll see you for the first time perhaps
Time’s fiction shattered 

JORGE-LUIS BORGES
