The corona crisis has woken up human being for their selves. Human connection and isolation are two central themes in the search of what is important for human beings.
‘I don’t fall, I dance’ is about isolation, connection and compassion; about falling and getting up. Based on our own experiences from the corona crisis, a eurythmic dance performance about the value of connection emerges. From the fear and disconnection, it becomes clear which values are important for human beings and their future. The performance is a reflection on an inner journey of the past two years.
