RUNthrough is the product of an adventure-filled journey focused on exchange by dancing, making music, learning and tinkering together. The aim is to explore new work techniques, to enter into a dialogue that broadens one’s own perspective to the undiscovered. Diversity and joint artistic interplay are the top priority. Runthrough is a production in which choreographic styles intermingle to create a fascinating composition that combines a plurality of body languages. Known for its collaborative, process-oriented working method, CocoonDance’s approach also forms the artistic basis of the piece. Creative experiments with movement have emerged from the joint research of workshops with multiple performative universes: the energy of the Kud Kolo troupe, the vivacity of the rappers Kamau & the Wolf, the voluptuousness of the voguers of The Iconic Kiki House of Juicy Couture, the sensitivity of the artists of Theater Hora, the players of Bonn Capitals baseball team and the Indian dance group Bharatanatyam. The gestural material collected during these residencies becomes a source of inspiration. On stage, eight dancers and a live DJ translate and transform them into a strange and innovative language. The fusion of these influences generates a liberating flow that flows over the audience, supported by the beats of musician Franco Mento. The performance creates a surprising perception of the body in motion.
