Stop Making Sense

Corpo Máquina/ Alesya Dobysh | NL

Share this show

Finding control by letting go and seeking rhythm in apparent randomness. Stop looking for grip: you will notice it is an illusion. An uncrowned queen of house dance, Alesya Dobysh shares her love of dance with unparalleled generosity and winks at our curiously limited relationship with our bodies. In the solo Stop Making Sense, she constantly throws herself through space on the border of tumbling and control, mastery, and letting go. Inspired by the famous series Men in the City by visual artist Robert Longo, she suggests an unstable surface. She brilliantly alternates Robert's falling figures with lightning-fast tap dance, sudden twists and turns. Experience a catchy language that doesn't seem logical but does consist of coherence.
