With this performance, Ira Brand takes the audience into an examination of the ways we give in and take control.
During De Utrechtse Nacht, part of the Culturele Zondagen, SPRING presents the performance Ways to Submit in KABUL à GoGo. a production of performer Ira Brand about dominance and submission.
The entrance of the performance is free. Reservation isn’t necessary.
Performer Ira Brand researches the ways we give in, and the ways we take control. Physically, psychologically, sexually, socially. Through the body, through language, and through structures of power. Ways To Submit invites you in to a fantasy, a game, a dialogue, a performance, a fight: a series of duets in which power is at work.
Afterwards you are invited for the post performance conversation.
Ira Brand’s new creation Runner will have its world premiere during SPRING Performing Arts Festival 2025.
“Ira Brand intriguingly does live (movement) research into human relationships, which produces a fascinating social play, also for the passive viewer.” Ways to submit provides an enormous amount of information about people's behavior and physicality and drags you - also as a viewer - into all the social and psychological questions the proposal raises.”
