Every human being is a sensual being. No matter our age, gender or size: each of us has a body brimming with energy and sensations. But our view of the body is often tainted by shame and doubt. Am I healthy, do I look good? When there’s so much more to our bodies. The body is incredible! Strong, fascinating, sensational. Let’s embrace it in all its glory.
In a contemporary ritual, six women go in search of the power and pleasure of their sensuality. Eros is kicking out the taboos and cliches: the female energy is given free rein.
It’s precisely this energy that this latest performance by Schweigman& makes palpable. On the wings of the drums and percussion by Frank Rosaly and Katherina Bornefeld (The EX), the six female dancers in Eros pull out all the stops. An experience that transports you out of the ordinary.
“This is a performance about emancipation, freedom and self-awareness. With its ritual-like form, “Eros” becomes a transformative experience not only for the performer taking part in the evening, but also for the audience. This story tells of freedom from cultural oppression, regardless of age or gender.” – Grzegorz Reske, artistic director SPRING
