On the 17th and 18th of February, during the interdisciplinary NextDoors week at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, we will present our contemporary dance theatre duet Gravity (and other attractions) performed by a deaf (Tiki) and a hearing (Lolo) dancer. They meet on a subway train and travel through their imagination as they experience different ways of attraction…

// ACCESS//
The performance has been developed by a creative team consisting of members with and without disabilities. Accessibility has been an integral part of the creative process. Gravity (and other attractions) uses innovative methods of accessibility as a core of the performance. The work is mainly accessible through poetic audio description. This innovative approach integrates descriptive language into the play without specifically targeting a visually impaired audience. Gravity also features other languages and art forms, such as international sign language and visual vernacular. Touch tours are available.
