On Friday and Saturday, 19 and 20 September (8 pm, MP2 ? Poznań International Fair), the Polish Dance Theatre is presenting its first premiere of the new season ? Open Field choreographed by Israeli artist Nadar Rosano.
About the piece:
Human relations create, on one hand, closed, constricting spaces, while, on the other, they devise “open fields” where individuals may look for new ways to make themselves distinctive, to shape their identity in the face of the community they are part of. Open Field tries to map out boundaries of individual freedom within a society. The piece is also an attempt to find out how limits set up by the collective may be extended, and what happens when all social norms are discarded.

Rosaro’s premiere will be coupled with the showcase of Need me, a choreography by Andrzej Adamczak.
Need me
Two elements trapped in one body. Competition and adoration. Demonstration of strength penetrating the pursuit of common goal. Is it possible for us to exist without our ?ego?? To which point does it help us maintain the sensations of consistency and integrity of our own identity? How strongly are we bound with it, are we capable of modifying and cooperating with it?
choreography: Andrzej Adamczak
dancers: Andrzej Adamczak, Katarzyna Rzetelska
