Inspired by Ottessa Moshfegh’s novel “My Year of Rest and Relaxation”, the dance piece “M.y Y.ear O.f S.tress A.nd R.ealisation” explores the effects of external pressures on the body, the mind, and societal structures.
The young dancers of the Junior Company of Art & Dance Lörrach, all with competition experience, move through choreographically composed spaces and react with their bodies to pressure, expectations and the constant demand to perform. Their movements reflect the tension between external influence and internal processing, emerging through a dynamic interplay of discipline, doubt, and a drive for autonomy.
