Against a backdrop of global rhythms, 'Until the Beginnings' orchestrates a vibrant dance-poem that brings together an international team of eight dancers from Senegal, Germany and France, as well as musicians from the spoken word and rap worlds.
Directors Alesandra Seutin (Artistic Director of École des Sables, Senegal) and Stephanie Thiersch (Artistic Director of MOUVOIR, Germany), who come from diverse backgrounds, weave a choreographic tapestry that questions the essence of hospitality.
The current political implications of the criminalisation of hospitality in many parts of the world, as well as the concepts of Jacques Derrida and Anne Dufourmantelle and utopian common spaces have found their way into the project.
Together, they are embarking on a journey to deconstruct the notion of 'home' and explore the possibilities of cultivating a shared garden within the mesh of continuity, cycles and threads.
