Never ALLone is a choreographic journey in which the author treats dance as a personal time machine that allows her to reflect on and reshape her past, as well as her future – the space she usually visits the most. In which he stays the longest. This time the journey continues in a technological environment, where the second body is materialized through a heavy and solid metal frame with a transparent interior, thus opening up a space of shared vulnerability. The fragility of the human body and its inevitable transience are in a dialogic relationship with the tasks of inorganic nature. How can we open up questions like – What will remain after me? What remains after the dance? And what precedes us? And what kind of common future can we even imagine? The cancellation of the division of the worlds we visit into real and imaginary, possible and impossible, yours and theirs, but overlaps, their penetrations and mutual entrances is what builds the hybrid environment of this performance journey. – Nikolina Rafaj, dramaturg
