Bounce is a performative ritual of personal and collective repair. The group of five performers work through shared sensorial physical practices of emotional resilience, driven by the need to care, cure, withstand and thrive. Next to the dark sounds of Tanja Fuchs aka Abu Gabi, the performers are relying on the physical perception of the self, the space and the other in order to form a choreography of private and shared histories in their search for endurance.

Emotional resilience describes the ability of a person or a group of people to recover from a traumatic experience and thrive after it. In Bounce the individuals are exploring sensorial responses to effect emotional state and develop tools and systems of endurance. Hovering around emotional spaces of uncertainty and pressure, the performers are relying to their own senses to seek for relations of support, care and empowerment.

Bounce is an embodied and embedded process towards an ecology of perception, that is, the way the activity of our senses functions to bind our separate nervous systems into the encompassing environment and thrive – or in other words: to bounce back.
