In a world where the distance between people grows wider every day, "In the Midst of Us" explores the fragile balance of human connection. The piece delves into the power dynamics and group relationships that shape our lives.
How do we navigate individuality while honouring cohesion? The performers traverse moments of tension and harmony, revealing the struggle to maintain integrity within a collective and the beauty of allowing oneself to be supported.
The work reflects on the roles we play within the group: sometimes a singular cog essential to the machine, sometimes a force resisting its flow. Through moments of care and roughness, blame and admiration, the choreography embodies the complexity of human interaction.
The dancers oscillate between losing themselves in the mass and rediscovering their place within it. Amid this organised chaos, the potential of collective support emerges—a powerful testament to the strength found in togetherness. In this ever-shifting dynamic, the influence of our presence becomes undeniable—a reminder of the impact we have on our surroundings and the importance of knowing when to give and when to receive support.

When a diversity of individualities meet and encounter to compose and decompose poetic images, the stage suddently becomes a timeless canvas. Then, landscapes of a distorted reality appear, where time is relative to the observer.
