We all have one. Right? We cherish it. We use and abuse it. We take it for granted. We laugh at it. We share it with others. We want it to mean something, to amount to something, to be beautiful and rich. We want to leave a mark. To look back and say: I have lived!To take life by the horns, spin it around, shake it about, stick our middle finger in its face and fight for it. It’s rough, beautiful, dull, predictable, open-ended and inevitably ending. Perhaps too soon and even for some inconveniently late.
If that’s not a great introduction to our introduction, we don’t know what is!
In this dance performance Linda and Bas will string together different introductions related to life and death. A little random and a little messy, since we are still in the midst of our lives and don't exactly know what to make of them. Which life is worth living? Who gets to live, who gets to die? And why?
Linda and Bas, simply two mortals trying to figure it out, get their shit together, dance, perform and sing their lives away!
Come spend some precious moments living your best life with us!
