A passion for life. On a stage stripped of all artifice, a simple movement, raw energy, a tension that builds gradually. The ten performers in Christos Papadopoulos’s piece launch into a deliberately imperfect unison. Like a Madison that lasts the whole evening, My Fierce Ignorant Step allows fatigue to set in and breaths to be heard. When joy is born of exhaustion.
