performance
AWL is a performance that aims to highlight the state of being "stuck" in one place and how the body can transform even the most limited environment around it. To provoke reflection on the idea of "comfort" and its relationship to social and cultural norms. The awl is a symbol of the desire for physical and emotional liberation, a reminder of how the body can rebel against constraints and seek its sense of comfort and satisfaction.
The performance is also a meditation on the experience of sitting and the sensations that can arise in the body when we allow ourselves to be still. An exploration of sitting as not just physiology but as culture. An insight into the circumstances that keep us "stuck" and how we can get out of there, push our boundaries, and discover new potentials to help us move further than just surviving.
AWL is the third co-production between One Dance and Toplocentrala.
With the financial support of the National Culture Fund.
