About the performance
Dinner can be a delight and closeness, dinner can be a struggle; when does one or the other prevail? In Dark Dinner, dancers and choreographers Veronika Valdes and Jana Menger dynamically travel through the different space(s) between them and beyond them, offering us their evening menus; glances, gestures, congestions / bones, greediness, hunger / balancing, confronting, entrapment. The confrontation between one’s inner voice and external image creates a series of duplications which can be read both in the field of individual intimacy and the history of the fights won at the green table. What remains is water, as the primary source of everything, and bones, which are being thrown (at each other) and/or gnawed on together. Therefore, Dark Dinner is both delight and anxiety – as well as a series of intermediate states between real and imagined worlds which people (repeatedly) create.
