WHEN LOVE WALKED IN
The gap between the way love is presented in culture and the way it is experienced by individuals is the basis and inspiration for Berg and Graf’s new dance-musical-performance. The work is constructed as a series of short stories connected by a body that is in search of intimacy. Three people oscillate between personal nostalgia and collective memory, sing and dance to fill the gap between their inner world and the one outside.
