CRUSH CRASH is a multidisciplinary performance project, an ode to dance, its harshness and beauty, whatever it may hold, contain or sustain; the performer’s body transform into a vessel of grief, love, melancholy, tenderness, pleasure, the void. The work also explores the connotations, semiotics and implications of the similar sounding words crash and crush, working in between literal and metaphorical associations, images and meanings in a visual environment where collision and breaking are taking place.

In this residency at BUDA she will rehearse the choreography and work with the technical aspects of it, such as costume design and props. The performance CRUSH CRASH will premiere as a site-specific piece on 27^th of June during DANSAND! Festival in Oostende.
