“GENERATIONS”

Medium "Generations" is Fine5 Dance Theater co-operation project with Israeli artists Stav Marin and Neta Weiner.  In “Generations” they deal with the clash and meeting of spoken word and body language. Through this clash both political structures and intimate relations are investigated and researched. The collaboration work between Stav, Neta and the Fine5 dancers deals with the weight of memory as it is transferred through generations within the structure of families. It examines the ability to remember and forget and raises questions of whether we can have a choice. Several textual and physical practices (martial arts, pop music, folk traditions) are brought into the piece as means of confrontation and affirmation. By exposing realms of violence and softness within the family texture, personal and collective narratives are revealed to be broken down and recomposed again.

"Generations" brings together dancers from different ages, nationalities and social backgrounds. Some performers started their dance career around the time when Estonia got its independence in 1991 and some of these dancers just graduated last year.

November 7th performance is part of festival Draamamaa.Weekend program.
