“Achilles’ Tendon” returns to the most primary and intimate – the body.

 The body placed at the center of the stage and the dancers are attentive to its needs and desires. The dancers let the body lead, they learn its impulses, they charge and empty it with different energy and substance.

 They try out the body’s reaction to touch, to weight, electric current and, and breathing. In this work, the body is the subject – it is not an object or vehicle by means of which a story told or an idea communicated. It is the story itself. 

From the preoccupation with the physical – a complex world of beauty is revealed; desires and deficiencies, strength and vulnerabilities, limitations and freedom.
