In Amsterdam, Flemish choreographer Lisa Vereertbrugghen experiments with hardcore techno to "challenge herself to go faster", to change her habits, and to step out of her comfort zone. She soon focuses on details "by zooming in on what is often overlooked in this practice: the neck, hands, face, elbows... From the little finger to the legs, every movement counts." Then she decides to move hardcore from clubs to the stage in various formats: performance, sound, installation. She engages in clever poetic exploration in collective shows that encourage the creation of caring communities. Aware of our age-old need to dance together, she intertwines hardcore rave and folk dancing in While we are here - her first group piece. Motifs borrowed from folk dances are echoed in unison by five extraordinary dancers. They pound their feet and flail their legs, liberating body and mind and celebrating joy and self-transcendence. The strength of the collective is carried along by a rhythmic complexity that the audience feels with every vibration.
