Hiatus / Daniel Linehan - sspeciess

After a first week in April, Daniel Linehan returns to STUK for two weeks, in the creation process of the group piece sspeciess, premiering January 2020 in deSingel.
Later this season, Linehan will return to STUK with his recent solo performance Body of Work (2019).

For sspeciess, Linehan was inspired by British philosopher and ecologist Timothy Morton and his ideas on co-existence and symbiosis. Five dancers - Gorka Gurrutxaga Arruti, Anneleen Keppens, Victor Pérez Armero, Louise Tanoto and Linehan himself – share the stage with musician and performer Michael Schmid. Together they borrow their bodies, breathing and voices to the musical and choreographic score of sspeciess. Sound echoes breathing. Breathing exhales sound. Dance and music intertwine: music creates not only the environment for dance, but dance also creates an environment that supports listening to the music.
