Trifles / Les Petites Choses

Trifles is the work through which permeates the existence of an extravagant and strange character, who never really interacts with the other four dancers, dressed up in fancy theatrical attire. The remaining four dancers are the fruit of the main character's imagination or his heroes memories. And the trifles are these things, smells and touch that suddenly could bring back the feelings associated with those memories.

Run with me

"Run with me is one of my favorite works by ARENA DANCES. The starting point of this work was the creation of a state of hysteria, synonym with the end of a relationship with someone you love and the moment when a person is wondering whether he\she has to get out of it. This moment reflects the relationship’s imbalance, when one "pulls the blanket over himself", and is a time of pain and hurt. When is it time to leave? How long can you stay? And how much you still love that person after all, and will still be a part of his\herself for the rest of his\her life"

Matthew Yanzhevsky, artistic director of ARENA DANCES
