Speeed
In 59 minutes, linga investigates the guiding principles imposed on us by society: high-speed and high-performance. Social standards evaluate the way we move, rectify trajectories, determine and set more and more productive targets, exploit space, reduce the margin of error or laziness, implying that movement is just a succession of measures and calculations. The companyâs choreographers, Katarzyna Gdaniec and Marco Cantalupo, mercilessly expose this race against time; they dissect it with humour while revealing its absurdity.
