In a seemingly abandoned place where time solidifies and stands still, two bodies are subjected to an uncontrollable machine. Tight rhythms and electronic sounds force them into a relentless routine—an unbearable and exhausting ritual. Like in a feverish dream, the two bodies attempt to break free. Lost in voices, movements, and pulsating beats, the search for an alternative becomes more and more urgent. In the ruins of what remains, they fantasize about a place where time is spent differently.
THE TIME IT TAKES {nomadic} is part of the research of Filipino-German choreographer and performer Izah Hankammer, in which she explores how the human body can function as a motor of resistance. Starting from this transformative force, she uses this performance to question the time and rhythm that shape our modern world.
