INTANGIBLE BRIDGES - PREMIERE ON NOVEMBER 27th

Published: 02.11.2015

A new creation by Zagreb Dance Company, choreographed by Roberto Olivan, will premiere on the November 27th at Zagreb Youth Theatre. After the opening night, repeat performances will be held on November 27th and 28th.

Intangible Bridges lead the viewer into private micro-universes of the performers, in which their personal and professional experiences interlace, their ambitions meet with obstacles. Fragments of their life stories are connected by intangible threads they are not always aware of, but these threads inexplicably determine their course of action. These threads, these intangible bridges, help us realize that despite our differences we all need each other in order to be ourselves again. Dance material has been created mostly by performers themselves, with a clear intention from the very beginning: to test their physical and emotional limits in order to create a unique form of visual poetry - the poetry which is the result of their own experience. Using non-verbal theatre and the language of contemporary dance, Intangible Bridges is a puzzle which reveals interrelations and ties between six stories and six different personalities.

Roberto Olivan (Tortosa, 1972) is a Catalan choreographer and director of Enclave Arts Del Moviment. He lives and works all around the world, combining seemingly opposing influences from different countries and cultures into primeval, organic physical theatre full of amazing contradictions. His pieces are firmly rooted in his own origins and experience, and coloured by those of the performers. Well-versed in many artistic forms, master of precision and control, Olivan works not only with the intellect, but with emotion, physicality and love. He seeks to make his work accessible to audience, combining the power and energy of circus with the harsh reality of the world in which we live.
