Dim
By Rosalind Goldberg
What kind of impressions seep into a state of numbness, and what is ignored because it no longer concerns us?
Dim is a dance performance for three performers, where a landscape of numbness governs their relationships and movements. Care, violence, indifference, boundlessness, and desire vibrate along an uneven path, marked by bodily anesthesia.
The piece springs from an over-sensitized, accelerated, and information-rich world where sensory impressions become too numerous and too intense, resulting in numbness – a natural response to an overwhelming reality. Dim explores this state and how it affects relationships, boundaries, and physical presence.
The term "dim" means unclear and diffuse, and the piece reflects this numbness through an exploration of physical logic. What kind of impressions seep into a state of numbness, and what is ignored because it no longer concerns us? How can the boundaries between care and violence, closeness and distance, be explored in this veiled landscape?
Content description
Rosendal Theatre programs work that challenges what performing arts can be, where it takes place, and who creates it. We collaborate with voices that are less frequently heard, those that are marginalised and alternative. As a result, the performances often present challenging content and expressions. If you feel the need to leave the performance partway through, we maintain a low threshold and full understanding for this. On the second floor, you will find a relaxed zone where you can retreat. You can read more about the relaxed zone and accessibility here.
