Betontanc: MAISON DES RENDEZ-VOUS

Photo: Miha Fras

Maison Des Rendez-Vous is the ninth performance of the Betontanc Company directed by Matjaža Pograjc. Even though in Maison des Rendez-Vous Betontanc starts finally to approach the text it is nevertheless very physical and choreographed. Characters are inspired by figures of Harold Pintar, which keep meeting in a kind of floating room. Room is open in therefor even more claustrophobic. They are trapped in their own innocent last for life. They quickly become victims and culprit at the same time. They are trapped in the fear of unknown elsewhere where they are balancing in the wild rhythm of silence, emotions, horror, grotesque and comic.
