Serrated Edges

Performance Dates:

18-19 March 2017: Gesundbrunnen-Grundschule, Berlin/Germany

The new dance performance by Kosmas Kosmopoulos and LUNA PARK explores the fragility of human existence. SERRATED EDGES evokes the duality of the body, in its presence and in its absence, with its movements and gestures, with images, words, noises, whispers, screams, lamentations, laughter and silence.

In the beginning, four people are trapped in the same sequence of movements. At some point, the moving still life breaks up, new paths lead from the offside into this world, from the dark into the light. Common ground forms and deforms and is repeatedly separated, as if cut off by the jagged edges of a blade.

The cuts go through movement, voices, bodies, life. In a timeless time, four creatures drift through contemplative spaces, mourning and fighting and hoping, searching for light, for orientation, for redemption, in the face of unresolved conflicts and violence in history and in the present of humanity, which is always also their own.

Like other works by LUNA PARK, the piece stands for the desire to interweave life and art, fiction and reality, social criticism and dance aesthetics.
