We invite you to 8 hours of transition. Rituals of time and shifting space: a polyphonic body will shape itself through our commitment. Familiarities are repetitively merged with foreign routines. Memories overlay, contradict and complement the performers’ expansion into the space organism. We’ll keep track of time. 8-hour routine. 8-hour rest. 8-hour interaction. Dance shifts the way we memorize. In the intersection of shared emotions and images, we address each other in search for a documentation of real time.

ROUTINE is based on research of the everyday structures of Japan and reconstructs our individual ways of translating common time.

A special request: please bring fresh, uncooked vegetables! We will prepare a meal for everyone.
