DisTouched – a dance performance on stilts
Three women, three nationalities, three stories that merged into one.
DisTouched is a touching and multi-faceted stilt dance performance in public space that talks about the ups and downs of life with lightness and poetry. DisTouched is about friendship and loneliness and the search for our place in society. Exploring touch, closeness and distance, the three dancers move playfully and gracefully on their stilts across the 360° stage, while taking the audience on an emotional journey.
