D NO BODY is a series of Dance Installations exploring the meaning of identity and the ways in which images of ourselves are contained in others.
In part 5 of this series, three bodies stride forth in slow motion in an attempt to transcend themselves, seeking for an intangible identity.

Theater collective Schwalbe uses the word ‘Livelihood’ – and its meaning yet to be defined – as a searchlight for a different way of working. How do you do your “work”? And what value and meaning do you give to your work? Or your daily life. The meaning of Livelihood has no fixed meaning: the word invites us to look at our own ‘work’, life and environment in a different way.

“We, Pig Country combines a direct narrative style with poetry and a powerful imagery, through which humour and emotion blend in beautifully.”
Lucas De Man uses the pig and the pig world as a metaphor for our current changing world, and his quest for his own part in it.

Time is physical. Our experience of time depends on anchor points: night and day, ever-recurring hunger, thirst, sleep, the sub-optimum system of the striking of the clock, and the growth and decline of the body. In TIME (working title), the Schwalbe theatre collective asks the audience to ‘temporarily let go of time’. To exchange clock time for the time of experience. To take a seat, get into it, go away (to buy a Snickers), change perspective, resist, build a nest, spend the night, wake up and see something that’s totally different, or still the same.

This performance displays the dilemas that lurk within people. On one hand, the euphoria that an individual can feel as he is absorbed into the crowd: at a concert, a pilgramage, or a demonstration. On the other hand, the fear that he can feel for the uncontrollable power of the crowd. That can be destructive. That hits out in panic. That tramples, and sees an enemy in everyone and everything around him.

Once every five years, Schwalbe theater collective will come together and perform in front of both the camera, and a select audience. When the last performer dies, the film material will be handed over to a, probably as yet unborn, artist with the mandate to make this life’s work into a piece of art/installation, with the name Spaar Ze – till we die.
Nine young people jumping for an hour to monotonous techno beats. They are in scattered groups, the only thing binding them is the fact they are in a small space. And just like the beats, they carry on endlessly.
