Annotation
You don’t need to know why, Caroline is a physical and poetic performance about the friendship of two women. It focuses on the changing layers of gentleness, strength, weakness, and mutual support. The choreography explores what happens between two bodies in moments of intimacy and fragility.
After the performance, we invite you to an informal discussion with the creators and a joint gathering. The discussion is moderated by Maja Štefančíková.
