The choreographic piece “A Place” is a project about the experience of forced migration, in which the creators use the experience of their own forced migration from Belarus as a way to see and share the realities of millions of migrants in new ways. Their experience is projected onto the cultural practices of the millennia-old experience of human migration, starting with the songlines of indigenous people of Australia and plunging into the infinity standing behind Neolithic Venuses.
The composition is built on the principle of a triangle. The three parts of the production represent three steps from the world’s surface into the anthropological abyss: the inner space of the migrant, the feeling of a community under stark restrictions, and the global and unsupported world of eternal nomads.
