KRETS is about belonging to a flock, and about the feeling of being inside or outside. Krets refers to a circle of friends — a circle, a group you can be part of, or break away from. It is about a ring, an electrical circuit, and a physical/geographical area. It is also about orbiting around one another. About flocking together around each other, or around an object. About circular movements. About rotation. About how we sometimes, almost magically, can unite and be in sync.
KRETS is also about the idea that we are all guests on Earth, and about being part of a larger whole — or a cycle. In this performance universe, we do not worship saints, but keystone species, in a theatrical cathedral filled with a circle of naïve nature icons.
We would like to conclude the week at PRAXIS with a showing of the work we have done so far. At this stage of the rehearsal process, we would greatly appreciate feedback from colleagues and artist friends. We will present the material we have been working on this week, possibly including some costume tests or examples of scenographic elements.
Kompani D is a new professional dance company made up of performers with and without disabilities who create performing arts together. The initiative is led by Caroline and originates from Dissimilis’ national center of expertise.
The company embraces a diversity of talents and aims to challenge norms within the performing arts. Currently, the company consists of six performers: Marikken Eidslott, Christine Sandberg, Victor Guevara, Martijn Joling, Maria Lothe, and Maria Klungnes Berg. Since spring 2024, they have been building a shared choreographic language and method together.
