Smells, noises, whispers, everything is important. Anomie period gives a push to rebirth or to absolute fail. Balancing we make our own choice, where to go.

3. Duet "Self to the Nth power"

(15 min, 2 persons)
Why our self perception often differs from wider public view of us? Probably, this is true that human consists of several personalities at once? And depending on a situation one or another "Me" appears? Probably the only one present "Me" exists, and spare analysis doesn’t allow this "Me" to break away and to become visible?
"…I don’t know who from two of us is writing this page"
Choreography by Anna Korzyuk

4. "Bardo" (30 min, 5 persons)

"Bardo" (Tibetan bardo, sanskrit antarābhava) - Intermediate State between one and another condition.

It is an experimental work about a Human, his relations with time, death and other humans, about the deficit of nightness and sympathy.
Torque or moment of force, is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis, fulcrum, or pivot. The definition of torque states that one or both of the angular velocity or the moment of inertia of an object are changing. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Loosely speaking, torque is a measure of the turning force on an object such as a bolt or a flywheel.

It is not related to real life.
Premiere of 19th of June 2013
Choreography by Olga Skvortsova

5. "Solo"

(9 minutes, 1 person)
"To sublimate, to endlessly crowd your personal world with unnecessary events, people, facts, details, to set out relationships with time just in order to stop in a flash and understand that you can’t answer the question -what are you dreaming about?...". Triptych on the subject of body transformation from an "introverted person" to a "self-free person".
Choreography by Anna Korzyuk and Olga Skvortsova
