Art stations fundation - by Grażyna Kulczyk

The performance in frame of Polish-Israeli Choreographic Exchange.

Intercontinental is a piece for one performer and 7 mattresses without any music. It is a changing landscape of images. It is a constant build up and decomposition of scenes, actions and logic. It is a search for intimacy in the absence of the other person. It is very matter of fact. It is a simple gymnastics. It is a practice of being sensitive. It is an attempt to find comfort in presence of imaginary people.
