4×4 meters – a box. 2 performers – one couple. “Relationshits” explores the different phases and dynamics of a relationship in a limited space through dance. From the romantic-enthusiastic beginning, to the shared space and the feeling of deep grounding and connectedness, to phases of longing for autonomy, the desire to break out of familiar paths, to leave obligations behind. Also included in the relationship package: betrayal, anger, longing, intimacy, compassion, sex, boredom, surrender and… love. “Relationshifts” takes all these big words that are part of our everyday life together as a couple and declines through the emotional and physical aspects of a relationship in different life situations. The starting point is very personal stories of the artistic team; which the performance translates into global images, using choreography and music as a language in which the audience can discover everyday moments.

„Relationshifts“ takes place as a 50-minute loop five times each evening, and the audience is invited to watch one or more replays. A kind of real-time effect: in the same space, with the same protagonists and the same choreographic sequence, the dancers exhaust themselves, age, lose their temper, give up and start again.
