Amsterdam Fringe Festival: Skypunch Collective - BothBodies

BothBodies

In BothBodies, two performers enter an elusive world of light and illusion, in search of where the Self ends and the Other begins. Surrounding a transparent, reflective screen, they move seemingly within each other's physical space; their bodies appear and disappear, flow into one another, and merge. With this highly visual choreography, SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE explores how boundaries between bodies can soften and transform. What unfolds is a surreal reality in constant motion, in which images appear and dissolve just as quickly.

Balancing between intimacy and alienation, dream and physical presence, BothBodies invites the audience on a poetic trip; a hypnotic choreography that invites you to look differently at reality and everything that moves within it, distorting and transforming it.

Skypunch Collective

SKYPUNCH COLLECTIVE is the interdisciplinary performance collective of Anna Zurkirchen and Celine Werkhoven. Rooted in the language of dance, we create hybrid works that combine movement, scenography, and audiovisual elements to explore themes surrounding intimacy, perception, and identity. Our fascination with human sensations results in sensorially stimulating performances and live experiences in diverse settings—from traditional theaters to natural landscapes, video installations, and public spaces. Playfully balancing between the surreal and the real, we seek ways to challenge and expand the spectator's perception.
