Even the Edges
| Duration | 50 min |
Radical closeness can sometimes feel far away
This piece, infused with dance, physical theatre, and performance art, is charged with yearning and intensity. It is up close and personal. In this sensory play of attraction and repulsion, Claire Hermans and Tijmen Teunissen search for something that lies deep within us all: the desire for radical intimacy. That rare moment when you truly let someone in, with no filters and no escape routes and that takes courage. Because how can you allow yourself to be vulnerable if you’re not sure you’ll come through unscathed?
In Even the Edges, the audience becomes part of an intimate shared space with the performers, where influence flows both ways and closeness is tangible, comforting, and confronting all at the same time.
Claire and Tijmen have been working together as makers for five years. They met as performers with the dance company Meyer-Chaffaud, both danced with ITA / Wim Vandekeybus, and performed in as well as created several works with Plan d- / Andreas Denk.
Their own work exists at the intersection of dance, visual art/installations, and physical theatre. They translate social themes into strongly visual worlds in which scenography plays a central role and proximity to the audience is essential. Both artists are also active outside the collective, which continues to stimulate and inspire their shared practice.
