Dystonia is a neurological disorder causing uncontrolled movement.
The show Dystonia is a celebration to living beings, even minerals. Even if it’s stupid, it seems important. It is a living language made of movement and juggling.
Defracto considers a juggling performance as a sculpture. By improvising, experimenting and writing for the stage, they create raw material from the body and juggling. From this block of clay, they carve and refine. They take time to contemplate the shape which is appearing, looking at it from different viewpoints. Defracto’s performers are interested in the body’s qualities which may be linked to the ugly, the insane and the funny. They practice with dedication and fun, and they are pretty sure that juggling unites bodies to objects in time and space. More than a connection with objects, juggling is their relationship to the outside world.
Juggling is their way of being in the world.
The show Dystonia is created in 2017.
