THE TIME IT TAKES {nomadic} kadert binnen het artistiek onderzoek van de Filippijns-Duitse choreograaf en performer Izah Hankammer waarin ze zich afvraagt hoe het menselijk lichaam kan fungeren als een motor van verzet. Vertrekkend vanuit deze transformerende kracht bevraagt ze de politieke, culturele en sociale aspecten van tijd en ritme die onze moderne wereld vormgeven.
In a seemingly abandoned place where time solidifies, two bodies are subjected to a machine of tight rhythms and electronic sounds. Like in a feverish dream, the two bodies try to break free, looking for an alternative. In what remains, they fantasise about a place where time is spent differently.
With this {nomadic} version, Izah creates short performances in unexpected places. In doing so, she considers the various scenes and musical fragments as deformable building blocks that can adapt to the location. Hankammer continues this project afterwards, working towards a full-length performance in 2026. She will do so within the New Creators' Track Inter:Action.
