“RUNthrough” is a choreographic remix, a fascinating fusion of different concepts of movement and body languages. The company behind the performance is CocoonDance, a now indispensable part of the contemporary European dance scene. For over two decades, the ensemble around Swiss choreographer Rafaële Giovanola has been delivering outstanding works and is known for its collaborative, process-focused way of working. This way of working also forms the artistic basis of “RUNthrough”: built on creative experiments devised from four one-week encounters with people from different dance contexts, giving the company an undiscovered perspective. The material created from this joint research into bodies and movement serves as a source of inspiration for the new choreography, which sees eight dancers and one live DJ translate the inspiration gained from residences with Kud Kolo, Kamau & the Wolf, Swiss representatives of “The Iconic Kiki House of Juicy Couture” and Theater Hora into their own language. The fusion of numerous different influences creates a thrilling atmosphere guaranteed to capture the audience members and show them a take on movement they may find surprising.
