DRIVER - Before Lunch (ACT II) (2024)
dance pieceEnter a world of truck driving; long work hours with irregular schedules, solitude, as well as loneliness, heavy regulations, precarious working conditions and lots of time spent away from home, friends and family. Meals are often eaten on-the-go or at a truck stop. Before lunch wonders about the distribution of time – having lots or none to spare – and what do we want to have done before lunch? Before lunch is created through conversations with truck drivers about work, their identity, structures of their industry and workplace; the road. It deals with truck driving as a practice of timekeeping, orientation and traveling, made into dancing.
DRIVER is a choreographic work consisting of two acts (Act 1, White line fever and Act 2, Before lunch). DRIVER investigates the act of driving, a paradoxical situation of movement; being in motion, whilst sitting still. It is a play on preconceived notions of perception and agency, a play on who is moving who, at what pace, through which spaces.
