“Superthing“ invites audiences into a landscape where the boundaries between presence and absence blur, and silence is charged with possibility. Through evocative choreography, layered sound, and shifting visual worlds, the work transforms the stage into a living terrain of longing and hope, mirroring the fragmented realities of contemporary life. The space and bodies vibrate with untold stories echoing moments suspended in time. Each viewer is asked to sense what is lost, what remains, and what might come to be. 

“Superthing“ is a place where patience and emptiness invite reimagined futures. Both raw and reflective, the piece invites us to slow down, notice the unnoticed, and consider how we might dream again-together.

Choreographers word

There are silences that tremble at the edge of every story. There are spaces, half-remembered and almost lost, where presence flickers in the folds of absence. “Superthing“ began here, in these in-between places.

What opens up when our narratives no longer bind the future? When our stories, untethered, drift beyond language and memory? We move slowly, sometimes not at all, listening for a pulse, a pause, a breath that signals life in what is missing. We follow traces and shadows, gestures that suggest but do not resolve, bodies that appear and withdraw, choreographies shaped just as much by what does not happen as by what does.

This piece is an invitation to dwell in borders: of the real and the imagined, of togetherness and distance, of sound and its hush. The dancers inhabit a landscape of shifting temporalities where meanings fray and renew themselves in the moment of watching.

We have worked, both impatiently and patiently, toward an art of waiting. We move toward a room where you, too, might notice what isn’t, along with what is. 

Here, absence becomes weighty and textured - a quiet companion, not an empty void.

We invite you to remain for a while and listen to the stories in the silences.
