Undercurrents is a choreographic search for traces of what lies beneath the surface: Memory as a quiet current, as inherited movement, as history inscribed in the body. Past and present overlap, enter into dialogue, contradict, and support each other.
Two dancers and a double bass player give physical form to lost, repressed, or fragmented memories. Buried and forgotten stories slowly resurface. Fragments rearrange themselves. What has long remained unspoken is translated into movement. The fabric becomes the connecting element - skin, boundary, protection, and resonance chamber all at once. It reminds us of what separates us and what sustains us. This creates an intimate bridge: A dance about memory, connection, and transformation, about identity.
Undercurrents was commissioned by the SZIH and POLIN museum Warsaw: a creation made in response to the exhibition 1945. Not the End, Not the Beginning and first performed at the museum in Sep 2025.
