\u201cWE\u201d draws inspiration from Anatolian esoterism on one hand, and from contemporary philosophy on the other hand, questioning the concepts of “unity in multitude”, “empathy”, “universal ethics”.<\/p>\n

Who counts as human? Whose lives count as lives? And, finally, what makes for a grievable life? Despite our differences in location and history, my guess is that it is possible to appeal to a \u201cwe\u201d, for all of us have some notion of what it is to have lost somebody\u2026Let\u2019s face it.

In \u201cwe\u201d, three male dancers in the performance space alternately move through series of trio movement forms in close and constant physical contact, dual action dialogues, and moments of individual outbursts of energy. They dig deep into their memories and bodies striving to explore what binds us together. They tirelessly search for unity in multiplicity while re-enacting and re-staging their experiences of communion and conflict, tenderness and violence, strength and vulnerability, and trauma and healing along the way.<\/p>\n

* \u201cWE\u201d was produced for the Istanbul State Opera and Ballet \u2013 Modern Dance Ensemble Istanbul (MDTist) and is still in the MDTist repertoire. With our endless thanks to them for their support.<\/p>\n

Open discussion and Q&A with the contributors and the audience will follow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
