25Feet

25 Feet is equivalent to a little over 7.5 metres. At this distance, or further apart, communication between people takes the shape of a spectator-artist dichotomy. Clearly, safely coded. But behaviours change instantly when people share a space measuring 25 square feet with two dancers, male and female. Inside the small square, everyone is bound to enter each other’s social space – voluntarily or by force. And from there the journey gains in excitement: personal space and intimate space are the areas where the most intimate and violating physical interactions take place.

The interactive 25Feet is a stripped down, hard-hitting dance performance about physical closeness and the dynamics between violence and intimacy. The performers in The100Hands are Dutch/Slovenian.
