During this residency, dancers/choreographers Anika Edström Kawaji and Robin Haghi are working on their performance “Things that can survive in space”.
Things That Can Survive in Space (working title) explores dance and choreography in the form of cosmic messages. The project departs from the questions: What would we construct if we knew that the construction had a chance of reaching another life form? Is there any boundary between fiction and reality when we engage in communication aimed at beings, who are necessarily alien to us and our context(s)? What does choreography become in this cosmic setting?
