Right for Fight (2021)
Premiere: Art Cologne, Cologne, Germany, 17.11.2021
Appx. 40 min (Performance: 20 min + Talk & Movement sharing: 20 min)
From love to indifference, blindness to open eyes, idealization to deception, harmony to conflict and freedom to imprisonment, we want to break up but forgive, be alone but accompanied, set limits but cross them, to say "yes", "no", "maybe" all at once… Full of contradictions, oppositional emotions, ambivalent reactions, paradoxical decision, passionate and irrational choices, this duet conceives love as a universal combat sport without protective equipment, in which two vulnerable fighters, Anna Adam and Eva Mora, constantly rewrite rules, negotiate power, fight with each other, against each other, next to each other. Lost between doubts and convictions, tensions and tenderness, stabilities and imbalances, they are exhausting and emptying their bodies, hearts, and minds, exposing themselves for their integrity, dignity and freedom.
Concept, choreography: Anna ADAM
Performance: Anna ADAM - Eva MORA
Production & Distribution: Gray Box
Support & Residency: Klara i Rosa (SRB), Le BAMP (B), Newcastle Dance Theatre (GB), Műhely Alapítvány / Workshop Foundation (HU), MoveIn Studio (HU), Institut Français Saint Louis (Senegal), Dekandoo Residency (Senegal)
