Step into an enchanting realm where physical theatre transcends boundaries, capturing the essence of a female form lost in carnality of trying to find her feet. Watch as a statue shatters its own stone, slithering into a tapestry of ever-changing, unlikely characters, in unlikely spaces. A show born between a windswept island off Ireland’s western coast and a former textiles factory in the heart of Barcelona’s industrial zone; through the universal language of gesture, this performance weaves the tender beauty of cultural heritage with a piercing critique of contemporary feminism.<\/p>\n
\u00b4It\u2019s a Real Coincidence\u00b4, co-devised and directed by Gr\u00e1inne O\u2019Carroll and Sophie Kasser, is a performance combining physical theatre, dance, sound and lighting. Set to an immersive musical score originally composed by Ian Nyquist, an experimental light-work developed with Odhran Duignan and Neilor Moreno that is adaptable to various spaces, and a multipurpose prop designed by Gr\u00e1inne O\u00b4Carroll and constructed by Kim Van Den Belt of 4.F.Studio. This is a collaboratively built performance retelling the tale of a female body in art: From object to artist it crafts the story of life itself \u2013 from conception to death and back to conception again and celebrates the nuances and gestures of being human we pick up along the way.<\/p>\n
For Zeitgeist Irland \u00b4Its a Real Coincidence\u00b4 will have its German premiere including five performance in unconventional spaces: A former horse stables being transformed into a socio-cultural space in Cologne and a consumer co-operative turned gallery in Wuppertal.<\/p>\n
