Artistic direction, choreography, dance	Constantin Trommlitz
Co-choreography, dance	Lara Szymanski Canaro, Filippo Gualandris, Virginia Lewerissa
Duration	50 min
Part of	CaDance Festival

"“The theme of pain certainly resonates throughout, the constant pushing against boundaries, the processing of emotions within oneself, the doctor's waiting room with its gong, which at times structures the performance. Especially since all four are masters of their craft and can congenially recombine their movement patterns. Truly more than just a silver lining on the dance horizon.”"

— Thorben Ibs, Tanznetz.de

"“Trommlitz fuses diverse styles with the hypnotic electronic sounds of Tom van Wee, creating a powerful expression—even in the quieter moments. In the end, it is the shared experience of the dancers that embraces pain, transforms it, and ultimately triumphs over it.”"

— Annette Stiekele, Hamburger Abendblatt

Moving through and with pain

What happens when you stop and it doesn't stop? Physical pain turns everything upside down; day and night are out of sync.

Silver Lining transforms this feeling of pain into an exploration of the body - its peculiarities, limitations and abilities. Four dancers move through and with pain, turning it into a motor for self-realization. By combining different styles - breaking, krump and contemporary dance - they express something that cannot be put into words. 

Silver Lining is a moving portrait of four bodies that share their pain with each other and with the audience while offering each other support.

About Constantin Trommlitz

Constantin Trommlitz (1996) is a German dancer, choreographer and filmmaker. His background in movement is in breakdance, an artform he cites as the prime influence on his work. After coming to The Netherlands, he started performing for many different companies, including Danstheater AYA, ISH Collective and many more. Since 2022, Constantin has been an individual artist in residency at Korzo.

Along this journey, Constantin met Zino Schat, the founder of Fractal Collective. He supported the collective for many years with both his performance and film work. Searching for his own identity as a maker, Constantin found that his knowledge and abilities in both dance and film can be merged in unconventional ways to tell personal stories.

Chronic pain and dance

With his earlier work Antibodies (2024) that premiered during the annual “Here We Live And Now” program, he already shared his relationship with chronic pain. In “Antibodies,” Constantin transformed the limitation of pain into an engine for self-expression and virtuosity. The duet merged elements of Breaking and Contemporary dance into an innovative movement language that highlights the sensitive relationship between the dancers and their own stories of pain.

Silver Lining is a new chapter in that story featuring four exceptional dancers.
