Netherlands-based American choreographer, performer and writer Sara Wookey’s new evening-length performance piece whose departing point is the word ‘face’ and its multitude of meanings. The expressive and imaginative work, for two men and one woman, makes use of short stories, lists and one-liners that are paralled with dance. In 2001 Wokey was awarded with the Incentive Prize for Choreography for The Skirt (2000) and has presented her work at festivals both in Europe and America. Note that 17, 18 February’s are ‘try-outs’ for which tickets are slightly cheaper.
