A second before awakening


"A Second Before Awakening" is a surreal journey through the depths of the human psyche."

In a collaborative process, the choreographers and dancers Beatrice Ieni, Sonia Rodriguez and Luana Rossetti of COMMEDIA FUTURA transfers the process "Cadavre Exquis" of the surrealists to contemporary dance. Using the instant composition and improvisation, the performers develop a collective choreographic vision that uncloses the unconscious. The compositions of MO Heidrich and the live music of Emre Kesim accompany this emotional journey of discovery that will touch the audience in an unexpected way.
