BREACH
 

Breach is an invitation to a distorted Marineland in the theatre, a deep dive into the body through breath, dissolving borders between humans and animals. Amidst the haze and dense violet light are the bodies of 6 performers and a pile of inflatable orcas. Much like tourists visiting an aquarium, the audience sits around the stage in order to observe these bodies in movement. Intertwined with the orcas, a sound performer guides the transformation and migration of the dancers with the help of microphones attached on the synthetic creatures, amplifying the subtleties of the breath work. In this strange space that oscillates between imaginary ocean and a dystopian aquarium, the delirious narration of a YouTuber talks about spirit animals and her special connection with orcas, interrupting the rigorous choreographic work.
