Hands shake - the simplest gesture of welcoming, getting to know and reconciling.
Currently, one of the most problematic reflexes we have left from before 2020. In our
work we would like to look at the „greeting gestures“ and the need of having real
contact with other person. In a time of virtual expansion, we are longing for
simple encounters. We are hidden behind logos, slogans, apps and profiles. What
does it need to get to know the other person? How much time it takes to tame the
other one? We are seeing a change in social contacts caused by the pandemic and the
parallel political tensions. We understand the greater good and nessecity of restriction.
We are observing splits in societies caused by fear, anger and misinformation. We are
wondering about the ubiquitous slogan: keep your distance so that you can be together
again. We hope we can unite. Stretching is a performative work reflecting on current
social condition and longing.
