To intimate

Cynthia Loemij (Netherlands), Mark (Belgium) & Cie Ovaal (Belgium)

60 minutes

Has the comfortable anonymity of today’s metropolis turned into discomfortable invisibility? How is it that today we communicate faster and easier, but hardly any better? In To intimate, dancers Cynthia Loemij and Mark Lorimer, who danced together in Rosas for fifteen years, address questions about (the lack of) communication. What can make intimacy and actual speaking and listening possible? To intimate is a choreography that really speaks.
