After Aftershock Shock

2022

After Aftershock Shock takes earthquakes as a starting point and combines dance with onomatopoeic language to explore different forms and intensities of shaking. Shaking is a physical state that comes over us, often unintentionally. It can arise from our bodies themselves or enter our bodies from the outside, forcing them to adapt to the movement of their environment, like an earthquake - a force of nature that is difficult to predict and that completely surrounds us.
