In this city, everybody is in a rush; workmen, shopkeepers, politicians, newspaper sellers, the unemployed; each in their own parentheses, their own corner, their own shadow, with the sound turned down. If someone asks for the time, do you answer? If someone has fallen in the street, do you help them? If someone is asking for spare change, do you give it to them? It might be a trap, a pitfall.
Straightforward, ironic and fearless, CITY expresses opinions about dictatorship, discrimination, prejudice, power, fear, ignorance, attraction and faith in the language of theatre and dance. The choreography of CITY is rooted in the observation of people in a metropolis: a bold new piece which interprets social dynamics through a vocabulary of movement and text.
Bloom! is an eclectic collective of dance artists, inspired by the belief that collaboration is of the essence, in order to create powerful and vivid works. The collective was first gathered in Budapest and it includes Hungarian, Spanish and Italian artists. The group’s philosophy redefines the hierarchy between choreographer and performer, giving life to a creative process in which every artist is equally responsible and involved. CITY, developed thanks to developed thanks to Jardin d’Europe and Workshop Foundation, is their first collective work.
