About this Event
BLOW UP: Work in Floating is a multidisciplinary dance performance choreographed by Olga Rabetskaya in collaboration with the performers. Using inflatable boats as both physical objects and metaphors, BLOW UP explores the pursuit of success, the search for intimacy and belonging, and the fragile balance between ambition, illusion, and survival. Through movement, sound, and shifting relationships, the performers navigate a world where everything seems to be floating, expanding, and on the verge of collapse.
The performance features an original musical score composed by Thorsten Hoppe and Masha Vasilevskaya.
