If the surpression of your psychoses comes at the expense of your imagination, what will you choose? Liat Waysbort created a dance performance based on a documentary by Laura Stek.
During her psychoses Gioia experienced her most beautiful dreams and her blackest nightmares. A regular life keeps her in reality, but what does it to do her imagination?
Choreographer Liat Waysbort's work builds on Laura Stek's film documentary, which impressively captures Gi-oia's experience of the world. In the performance Gioia Live, dance, video and audio push each other up in the search for the boundary between delusion and reality. Fantastic heights and dramatic lows alternate and crash with the banality of everyday life. Mara Hulspas' warm, elusive and powerful movements and Gioia's poetic, humorous and dry reflections on her psychoses merge into an intense and personal mix of dance and documen-tary theatre. A performance that celebrates the autonomy of the individual.
