In-Side Sense

The exploration of a loss
Dance

Without us thinking about it, some kind of sixth sense securely guides us humans through the world. ABut suddenly, a rift tears open in this security as we suddenly lose any trust in gesture, step, and movement. In-Side Sense is a furious examination of being a stranger in one’s own body. Nothing adds up anymore.
