About the contemporary dance performance by MN Dance Company.
Modern inventions that improve human life definitely work, but at the same time interfere with the millennia-old ways of life, natural patterns of existence, biological rhythms, and social life of humans and thus threaten the humans’ physical and mental health.
The concept of distance is intrinsic and very familiar to modern society. It could be social and physical distance, or individuals’ distancing on physical, and consequently social, mental and spiritual levels. The contemporary way of life and the implementation of digital technology decrease between people and render it more meagre and formalised. Modern inventions that improve human life definitely work, but at the same time interfere with the millennia-old ways of life, natural patterns of existence, biological rhythms, and social life of humans and thus threaten the humans’ physical and mental health. Distance, which acquired very particular dimensions during the recent COVID era, further deepened the split between people, alienation, individualism, and individuals’ distance from themselves - all things already present in modern society. At the same time, it accelerated the development of the digitalisation of society and artificial intelligence. And it is the latter, recently in explosive expansion, that opens new possibilities for technological advancement of humanity, while simultaneously amplifying the most dangerous distance of all - the distance from reality, a reality that humans as social animals need so very badly.
The topical dance production does not distance itself from the burning social issues and uses dance to intervene in the essence of human existence - closeness. The closeness of the body, the fellow human, the co-creator, the world and the planet we live on. The international cast of the MN Dance Company in coproduction with the SNG Nova Gorica will contribute to connecting and gathering, overcoming any distance, which is also the motto of the EPK 2025.
The only reality we cannot deny is the one that we feel in our bodies.- Michal Rynia and Nastja Bremec Rynia

Very interesting.. The music gave me some anxiety waiting to see what the next movement will be, wondering what the movement/objects symbolises. Watching this piece is addicting. The dancers did so amazing I was in awe... Beautiful piece!
