The Power of Vulnerability

Power.
A word that implies a concept that lies regularly on our tongue, used to discuss society, culture, dynamics, individuals.
A word that is associated with strongness, presence by one person or a group, dominance, a loud voice. But what about the power that lies within the silence? The power of vulnerability, nakedness, and authenticity? The power and courage to listen and to be listened to. The power of being silent, present through the looks that your eyes exchange with another one, the power of touching and being touched inside, the power to take a moment and breath. We looked at the power from the side of what touches us the most and this is the connection through an honest and vulnerable exchange which we do through dance with our bodies. The project developed out of silence and the power and strongness to be able to meet people on a deeper level.
