One chair, one dancer.
This is the starting point for the work One One One by choreographer Ioannis Mandafounis.
You sit down on the chair, a dancer approaches you and says:
— I will dance for you as long as we maintain eye contact.
What happens next is a silent dialogue, an exclusive encounter. An opportunity to see dance with new eyes. To see, truly see, dance. When you have seen enough, you may leave the chair.
One One One is performed in public spaces. The work has previously been presented in streets and squares, in a prison in Madagascar, and at the National Hospital in Copenhagen.
Choreographer Ioannis Mandafounis has developed his own method where intuition is placed at the forefront. The dancer becomes like a membrane, saying “yes” to all impulses in relation to the source, the audience member on the chair.
The piece is both an intimate meeting between two people (the audience member and the dancer) and something that can be experienced from around this encounter.
One One One can be presented in public spaces: lounges, lunchrooms, auditoriums, shopping centres, hospitals.
We promise something distinctive, intimate, provocative, and entertaining. In the middle of the room and in the contemporary moment.
