How we move through the dark

Poetic Disasters Club / May 2025

Night shadows and carousels. The clouds pull over our moon. Loneliness of the midnight kingdom. We collapse and are caught by this ground. We reach out and are met by this hand. Far and away, the black raven calls. It soars above our mystery.
It sings of how we move through the dark.

“In How we move through the dark , choreographer Lea Ved crafts a hypnotic and poetic dance experience, brought to life by Club Guy & Roni's Poetic Disasters Club. This evocative new creation explores the tension between isolation and connection, the fragility of darkness, and the unseen forces that guide us.

A journey through shadows and light

Through intricate movement, raw physicality, and immersive soundscapes, Ved and the performers navigate a world where shadows breathe, bodies remember, and the unknown becomes tangible. Inspired by the surreal poetry of midnight landscapes, the piece blends contemporary dance with an intuitive, improvisational edge—leaving space for mystery, urgency, and human tenderness.”
