Faint at heart

Meet the wolf, the sheep, the shepherd, the mommy, the body, the baby, the dummy, the dancer, the viewer, the wave, the rock, the faint, the feelings, the fainted heart, the faint hearted, the faint at heart.

A pack of 5 investigates how to flip the image and change the narrative of the stories we tell and are told. Switching between ambience and temperament they interrogate constellations through waving, group dynamics, structures of power between each other, performer and audience, the heart and the mind. 

Faint at Heart builds on a physical practice known as Addictive Dancing and an intuitive choreographic method called OMG Dramaturgy, which Sigrid has been meticulously developing over the past years. 

Premiere 7-11th May 2024
Faint at Heart is 40 minute piece for 5 dancers with an easy set up.
