Neighbours

The two dancers met in 2018 while rehearsing William Forsythe’s most recent work, A Quiet Evening of Dance.  This sparked a desire to compare their choreographic backgrounds on  stage. The master’s piece provided inspiration, as they embarked  together on an exploration of their differences that would then yield a  single language, elevating their respective techniques through contact  with each other.

Operating at the cutting-edge of their  discipline, Rauf “RubberLegz” Yasit, a self-taught artist known for  composing inconceivably fluid forms with his body, and  dancer-choreographer Brigel Gjoka, an elegant exponent of the classical  and contemporary genres, engage in a dialogue replete with  transformational and contemplative moments.
