Who is included? Who is inside and who is not? And why? Tabea Martin and four dancers engage with the power of exclusion. With a virtuoso ease, she uses dance and language to examine how prejudices and fears of the unfamiliar shape the dynamic between people. What glasses should you wear to really see more clearly?
Tabea Martin was born in Switzerland and studied modern dance at the Amsterdam University of the Arts and, among others, danced with Piet Rogie & Company in Holland, Fabian Chyle in Stuttgart, and Nick Bryson in Ireland.
