Bestseller

after-talk with the artists in English (no translation) at 19:00

The title of Rafał Dziemidok’s and Martin Clausen’s premiere, “Bestseller,” refers to the economic aspect of heritage. The performance is inspired by a book written by Rafał Dziemidok’s late father, a professor of philosophy. It raises questions about the material dimension of inheritance from our ancestors. How can this legacy enrich an individual’s dance practice? Can it act as both a boon and a burden, influencing one’s artistic autobiography?
