Humanoid Trilogy: Episode 2-Safe Absence 1 c Ernest Potters
T.r.a.s.h. mixes dance, performance and live music to very physically and emotionally dance theater. Unique in the Netherlands, with an international character. For the next one and a half years the company is working on Humanoid Trilogy, which zooms in on the paradoxes of everyday life in three distinct parts.
In this second episode five seductive women personify the themes of longing, sin and penance. Caught in their comfort (zone) broken stories of fear, trauma and emotional excesses are portrayed. From repressed memories, smothered in a straightjacket of traditions and rituals, their disturbed perception of reality unfolds.
Safe Absence explores what being a woman means and represents this in atmosphere and mood. Carnival-like scenes in a surreal landscape, accompanied by intense live music, lead to extreme physicality between reality and trance.
