Motsatser
Motsatser (Opposites) is a playful performance where two dancers, on their way to the preschool, explore the notion of opposites. During their journey they encounter a multitude of opposites of various kinds, and it turns out that the path itself is more important than the goal. In all weathers and in a playful and humorous way, the many sides of opposite behaviors are explored. We get to experience a world that is not just black or white but a world where life is trickier than that. Motsatser is performed at preschools, both inside and outdoors. Afterwards, the children get to explore how opposites can be felt in the body. The performance has been created based on children’s thoughts about opposites in everyday life.
