While we are here

Choreography: Lisa Vereertbrugghen

People have always danced intensively together, and under various names, raves have always existed. In While we are here, choreographer Lisa Vereertbrugghen investigates the timeless desire to collectively dance hard. She invited the performers Claire Godsmark, Dolores Hulan, Eimi Leggett and Castélie Yalombo Lilonge to collectively practice hardcore rave parallel to folk dances that celebrate joy and togetherness. The production works against control and celebrates a collective physicality. Without nostalgia and with no fixed vision of the future, the group brings to life a hybrid techno-folk dance.
