falling grace
In this production, Katarzyna Gdaniec and Marco Cantalupo search for the point of inflexion where everything can crumble or be restablished. Acclaimed and commercialized, what society calls balance results in a desire for domination and control. Between precarious stability and creative instability, falling grace explores the relationship balance / loss of balance in search of the dynamic which surges when balance is lost, creating a falling movement, an eulogy for fragility.
