The piece
was made as the second part of the performance „IN BETWEEN“
and is a continuation and supplement to the performance „Earth“
choreographed by Lenka Flory.
It shows a vast and borderless sky. People search for each other to
avoid solitude. Finding each other they suspect, seduce, dominate and
loose, struggle, envy and fight. They look back to the Earth and think
of lost happiness.
“Instead of flying we dug into the cold earth. We continued to
fall, believing that the impact with the earth would allow us to penetrate
it and understand it.
CV
Iztok Kovac
started the dance group En-Knap in 1993 under the auspices of the Klapstuk
festival in Leuven (Belgium). In 1994, the production organization EN-KNAP
was registered in Ljubljana (Slovenia). In 16 years of EN-KNAP activities
41 performances have been created,
5 dance and 6 documentary films shot,
20 international awards has been received,
plus a multitude of educational programmes launched and a collection
of books published.
From the outset, the program of EN-KNAP has been financially supported
by the
Slovene Ministry of Culture and City Council of Ljubljana. 
EN-KNAP has been collaborating with more than
50 foreign and Slovene co-producers, which is reflected in more than
400 guest appearances, in more than
30 countries all over the world.
In 2007 EN-KNAP decided to change from project-based to repertory-based work and started a permanent dance company EnKnapGroup, EKG with an international cast of graduates from Europe's top dance schools. In a year and a half they have collaborated with 11 distinguished authors from the field of theatre and dance.
EnKnapGroup
is a permanent international repertory-based dance company dedicated
to collaborating with innovative, creative authors from both Slovenia
and abroad. We are striving to achieve an artistic synergy between our
own aesthetics and forms of expression and the most experimental dimensions
of contemporary dance. Inside EKG, history dances with the future, our
collective soul is moved by our individual bodies, and the old model
of East/West Europe is turned inside out.
