REQUIEM FOR A YOUNG SOUL | BUITENKANT VOET 2024
This work in progress performance is part of three-day festival BUITENKANT VOET 2024, curated by dance collective Voetvolk / Lisbeth Gruwez and Maarten Van Cauwenberghe.
Requiem for a Young Soul is a gripping, cinematic dance performance about how coping with untimely loss can lead to intimacy and resilience. Guided by a raw, atmospheric soundtrack, two bodies lose themselves in the tug of war between love and grief. How can one help the other when both are frozen in pain? It turns into an emotional, disorienting chase through memories. Requiem for a Young Soul is a call for strength of heart in the midst of suffering, for a haven where you simultaneously can be lost and found .
