FRIEND.SHIFT—DUET
Farah Deen and Olivia Mitterhuemer are linked by a
long-term, intensive friendship, which has been and is strengthened in
particular through many shared experiences in dance. For many years, the two
Austrian women have combined their physical and mental connection with their
passion for house dance. Above all, the house step “Chase”, also known as
“Hurdle”, inspired them both in terms of movement and in the literal sense for
their common work which is based on consonance, harmony and blind
understanding.
In their piece "Friend.shift" they
embark on a journey through diverse (life) positions and numerous movement
patterns. In doing so, they keep on finding new perspectives and expressions.
