"A deal is a commercial operation which applies to some forbidden or strictly controlled values. The deal is made in a neutral, indefinite and unfit for this purpose place between a supplier and buyer- according to a silent agreement, conventional signs or in an equivocal conversation with an aim of fraud, which always is a result of such action. It can be performed in any time of day and night, independent of the official trade establishments work hours, and more probably when they are already closed”.

"Cain’s murderous rage hasn’t ceased yet after so many thousands of years. The fratricide proceeds. It’s much the same as the scriptural stories demonstrated at the beginning of history. Only the weapons have changed. The fraternal animosity remained the same.”
Lipót Szondi, “ Cain, the law-breaker”
“Two black image in the snow-white space. Assimilates with himself. The image of brothership and the slight greatness of difference. They move simultaneously. So simultaneously, that the simultaneousity wears off... Which of them is Cain? Which of them is Abel? ... Is there a Cain alone? Or Abel?”

Breakbone’s punk rock fashion sextet, datastarve, is a bombardment of clashing components. This multi-media work contrasts the idealized model thin body type to that of the dense musculature of the athletic female body type, the long ethereal lines of a ballet dancer to that of the bold strength of a modern dancer, the strict confines of the Haute Couture fashion world to that of the intensely aggressive Punk Rock fashion scene, and the skilled beauty of the High Stepper horse to that of the powerful rawness of the Draft Workhorse. The work evolves into using dance as a form of communication between the two disparate vocabularies, to find a balance of equality and a place of acceptance.
Breakbone Dance Company celebrates 10 years of breaking the rules in dance with their "...choreography for the 21st century..." (Chicago Reader). Continuing to pave the way with their boundary breaking performances they have proudly emerged as a highly daring voice taking you to places where no other Chicago dance company will dare to tread. Literally crashing into the dance scene in 1996, Breakbone has taken the lead in visually unique & viscerally cinematic danceworks exploiting & exploring their original aggressive dance exile style that has been a commanding presence in the Chicago dance community.
This cultural exchange opportunity had been funded, in part, by The Alphawood Foundation & The Chicago Community Trust.

„Through the bottle neck“ is a tiny story, a first choreographic try. It arose from a long-standing friendship, which became the main source of inspiration. It doesn’t try to depict a story, describe it from outside, but it tries to open itself to a sensitive observer. Only through the way of intuition, also the spectator can become a participator in the most confidential conversations and discover the secret wishes… As if he looked into the window of someone else’s flat and witnessed a small part of somebody’s stories.
Premiere 2002, 2nd prize and the public prize in the International Competition for Choreographers of Contemporary Dance in Bornem (2004).

Duration: 15 min
I screamed: «leave... leave and never come back», and I didn’t want him to leave... I closed the door behind him and started crying. I had a feeling that I lost everything in this world, but I understood that our love is not possible, and it would be better for us to break up...
Doorbell rings, I knew, but I didn’t really believe... He, he came back! «We have three hours and nothing else », he said... I was standing in the kitchen, smoking with my eyes full of tears. He put me on his lap. I was looking at him understanding that I hate him, push him, he does the same, we love each other but will never confess that to each other. He is too good, too different, too married for me. "Last ten minutes», he whispered...
I started crying, as I never cried before, not because I fell in love with someone like him, but because I hate him and at the same time love him with all my heart... He started to sob...
So everything that happened was... something like this..."
The duet was created as an initiative of Sergei Zemlyanskiy with the assistance of «Anatomy of dance» project.
The duet special thanks to: Dmitry Gaitukevich, Liga Liberte, Andrius Kochanovskis, Anna Dubrovska.

“Back” is an exploration of the subtle and dynamic fluidity of immediacy. Throughout the process of creating the work our attention has been focused on revealing and unraveling the unspoken often unconscious narratives that play themselves out between us everyday. With this in mind we began to think about the work and the space it inhabits as a kind of extraordinary representation of the space between two people and the things that occupy it. “Back” traces the meandering dreamlike journey that is the reality of relationship. This is a world in which we inhabit each others dreams, the many layers of our consciousness’ and the physical world, knotting our narratives in an often unpredictable journey through space and time.
When we want someone there’s nobody there, when a someone finally appears we want to be alone.
The work flirts with memory and dabbles with desire. It explores our need to be needed our pursuit for belonging and our fight for independence. “Back” captures the ambiguity of our experiences in relationships. In short it is something about love, loss, memory, desire, intimacy, jealousy, belonging and isolation.
Duet was commissioned for and premiered at the 2008 FNB Dance Umbrella in
Johannesburg South Africa.
