An imaginary space that evokes at the same time a futuristic gym, the sterile coldness of an abandoned laboratory, and the dark, pulsating chaos of a club—this is EX – exorcise exercise.

EX does not tell a story, but generates a sensation. It is a space for remembering the future, where people not only work with weights, but also recreate moods, reprogram habits, and break down ingrained behaviors, where energy investment condenses into knowledge in the form of beads of sweat. The figures circulating in the system deviate from expectations to the best of their ability in order to liberate themselves, break free and get away. Under the neon lights, the EXs appear one after another: exorcise, exercise, exclusive expedition, explicit expansion, extreme extension...

Zsófia Tamara Vadas and Imre Vass lure the 10 young, early-career dancers of SUB.LAB.PRO's fifth season into the training ground: the fictional EX - exorcise exercise gym, where they practice sports by jumping up and taking off from the ground so they can wander in the infra, ultra, inter, trans, and sub domains.


SUB.LAB.PRO is a creative platform for contemporary dancers to expand their technical skills and creative capabilities through choreographic creations. The program is designed to foster a realistic appreciation of a professional company-like environment by offering a complete tool kit to sustain and nourish the dancers at the start of their career paths. During the training, 4 (in this season 5!) different choreographers create a full-evening performance each for the dancers. The company presents the finished work on Trafó’s Main Stage.

Co-creators and performers: Claire Wilcox (US), Danaë Suteau (FR), Eva Palandjian (FR), Lea Amneby Snickars (SE), Olivier Cuvelier (FR), Maguelonne de Toldi (FR), Sara Arnestad (NO), Sarah Green (FR), Flóra Tiszai (HU), Yona Corbic (RE)
