body, language, isolation
Long time no see is a research project about common roots and isolation, social similarities and differences, meaning of words and metacommunication, actions and reactions, understanding and misunderstanding, nearness and distance, sisterhood and cousinship. A performance by a Brussels-based Finnish and a Hamburg-based Hungarian young artist that explores the unfamiliar and familiar aspects of two cultures that used to be related.
Through gestures and cultural movement patterns in collaboration with writers, visual and sound designers they translate grammatical rules into motion and raise questions that separate and bring us together at the same time.
The performance was selected as an official programme of Festival d’Avginon and AEROWAVES Spring Forward twenty19.

"A Long time no see! című színpadi alkotás olyan, mint az egészséges állatorvosi ló: a kortárstáncnak nevezett műfaj összes viruló tünete megfigyelhető rajta."
"Máshogy értünk, máshogy olvasunk, máshogy hallgatunk. Erről is szól a Long time no see!."
"Közös előadásuk, a Long time no see róluk szól, de rajtuk keresztül rólunk is: magyar, finn, európai (és ha egy kicsit tovább gondoljuk: bármilyen) identitásunkról."
