A MOOD FOR DEEP LONGING

By Jelena Kostić

A MOOD FOR DEEP LONGING casts a critical eye on the implications of firm choices and a resounding 'yes'. Promises and threats find each other in a dance-theatre performance full of live singing, combative dance and wistful traditional Eastern European music.

With four energetic dancers and live vocals by Iris (Iritchka) Ficker, Serbian-Dutch choreographer Jelena Kostić (1976) takes you on an odyssey through the human mind. Sometimes playful, sometimes meaningful, but always original and with a radical physicality.
