“How To Get High” is an experiment: using shamanic techniques, two dancers attempt to attain ecstasy onstage. With no protection and propelled by trance-like, repetitive music, they let themselves fall into atmospheric landscapes of light. The performance can turn out emotional and wild, yet turn inwards and become still again. Little is foreseeable.

This desired state is comparable to a drug trip. Colours emerge, permeated by images and warmth. In this state the body seems to move of its own accord. No constraint or pressure, only free will, resulting in a choreography of the unconscious.

This is an experience of the senses, an invitation to the audience members to join us on this journey, immerse themselves in another dimension and to awaken a sense of freedom and exhilaration – perhaps even beyond.
