Meant to be together deals with socialised and gendered mechanisms of conflict in politics, which are also reflected in romantic relationships
Abstand
In Meant to be together, Linda Heller explores the way we argue with each other and the socialised, gender-specific mechanisms behind it. She draws parallels between democratic processes and negotiations in romantic relationships. The trio encourages the audience not to avoid conflicts and discussions, but to face them and endure the associated friction - and perhaps even learn to appreciate it.

How to make the kitten purr?
Abstand
Eat Me Now! addresses the objectification of lesbian sexuality and the sexualization of bodies perceived as female.
Five dancers with diverse movement backgrounds and different bodies explore patriarchal perspectives, challenge heteronormative narratives, and develop a 'lesbian gaze'.
Influences from contemporary dance, breaking, dancehall, Afro, hip-hop, and swimming are reflected in the movement language of Eat Me Now!
