How do we relate to the objects around us, and who is actually dependent on whom?
We humans are accustomed to understanding ourselves as independent authorities on Earth—yet there are millions and millions of small threads connecting you and me. ‘still.dependent’ addresses the problematic relationship between humans and objects in post-modernity. Three performers and a Cyr wheel embark on a journey between control, dependence, and sensual utopia. Contemporary dance meets dynamic acrobatics and a quirky object.
Objects weave our reality — are we ready to feel it?
The artist duo Sandra Hanschitz & Joël Beierer collaborate in ‘still.dependent’ with choreographer Heidrun Neumayer. All three share a common language at the intersection of contemporary circus and dance—poetic, physical, and clear. At the centre of the production is the Cyr wheel, moved by the performers Linda Pilar Brodhag, Lorena Madurga, and Lotte Sterringa. Their performances tour internationally, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Ruhrfestspiele Recklinghausen, ON THE EDGE Festival in Vienna, and Circa Festival Auch.
