Lyubochka
Where does being human begin and end? Karlien explores the secret passages in the grey zones between different forms of life. She does so with reverence for the intuitive language of dance, beyond the urge to rationalise. As a spectator, you are drawn into a game of perception, balancing on the tightrope between diffidence, bewilderment and compassion. A body scratched with the traces of a human life creates a poetic composition with its surroundings. Chamois-sweet scenes contrast with raw authenticity. What seeps in makes explanations superfluous.
Every cell of her body breathes movement. Her purity and natural strength create stuns that linger long after. Like an unpolished diamond shamelessly shining on the swell of intangible energies.
