ONE is one of the outcomes of the artistic collaboration initiated by four Polish freelance performers/ choreographers. This constellation of artists is the result of more or less (un-)accidental collaborations in Poland and Germany. Collectivity, upon which they reflect in this process, is not reduced to the structures of decision-making but also permeates the political and aesthetic aspects of the creation process itself.

‘Seeing the self and the world as an abstract glob of particles leads to uncomfortable conclusions.’
N. Leto, ‘Sailor’

The performance begins with dance. The dance begins with interactions of bodies, sounds, and objects. Bodies and objects, in turn, begin in the corporeal “collective” and center around its creative and destructive power. The resulting form allows for the exploration of the possibilities, dynamics and limits of this “collective”. ‘One’ is driven by a constant fascination with building and deconstructing, sense and nonsense, the whole and the ‘black hole’. It is based on a poetic dialogue between the individual and the collective. The spaces in between sounds and movements are filled with questions about who are we as subjects, and how can we be and create together.
