"Sharing space - not sharing the time. Capture traces. Catch yourself. Navigate between here and there. Substitute absent presence. Replace."
In the performance Forms of distance choreographer Magdalena Reiter explores the states of detachment, abandonment, individual and collective distances. The question of alienation and absence of presence as the inherent state of contemporary man juxtaposed with the search for belonging and ceaseless attempts of building the present moment.
The mechanism of memory determines incomplete images that arrive and disappear like the past fragments of oneself. Relationships of replacements, substitutions or projections of/on another are filling the cracks in the fragmented time, suspended between the past, present and future.Time and event are split, the individual becomes a stranger in his own environment. Theatre -as nobody's and at the same time everybody's space - always a new form of distance co-created by the spectator and performer.
