here ≠ there is a contemporary dance performance about hope in the face of a world in crisis. Inspired by Byung-Chul Han’s “The Spirit of Hope,” it creates a moving space that does not provide answers, but asks questions: Where can hope grow? Two performers explore the transitions between the digital and real worlds with their bodies, closeness, and distance. In interaction with live music and lighting design, a fragile landscape unfolds in which the audience is invited to think, feel, and move along with the performers—both internally and externally. Hope does not appear here as a goal, but as a moving force that reveals itself in the moment—between heaviness and lightness, searching and longing.
here ≠ there is an invitation to enter new spaces of possibility and explore fragile confidence together—beyond simple truths, but full of intensity and openness.
