Eliana Stragapede and Borna Babić received the Dansateliers Partner Award at RIDCC 2023 for a 10-minute version of AMAE. That award consisted of a two-week research residency that took place at our studios in June.
On Sunday 22 September, they will show the full performance in our Theatre Studio. A unique opportunity you don’t want to miss!
AMAE questions and explores the boundaries between care and obsession, love and pain, support and control. Where is the boundary between these extremes? How far can it go? Is there a possibility of compromise and understanding or is it meant to be an endless loop?
‘The duet AMAE is fascinating and mesmerising to watch, and at the same time traces a trail of discomfort through the body. Where is the line between embrace and suffocation? Eliana’s body is like water in Borna’s arms; soft, flowing, sharp, floating, hard. Beauty and fever dream come together through movement qualities and technical mastery.’ – from the motivation of Lisa Reinheimer for awarding the RIDCC Partner Award to Eliana and Borna.
