Split Ends

Sigrid Savi’s new dance performance “Split Ends” operates between shattering and reinventing the world, building a structure that is on the constant verge of breaking. A performance as a power disruption, a midlife crisis, a voice cracking, a bad connection… The endless collisions of breaking points in the transition phase create a poetic form of being, made up of short circuits. Not everything has to be fully known to create new worlds. Some worlds are just traces and contours. 

In this wreck of worlds, two strangers drift. They share space, but they seem to be about different things. Their communication romanticises rather misunderstandings than completing each other’s sentences. Half-moments, indefinite endings, choppy beats, broken bodies – you can smell the scent of burning.

What an interesting finger
          let me suck it 

It’s not an interesting finger
          take it away 

The statement is pointless
The finger is speechless
