Production Details / Press Releases
Empathy has to do with movement. Changing perspective, putting yourself in the other person’s position, retracing the feelings of others. Being empathetic means coming closer to each other emotionally, cognitively and socially. This sounds simple, but it has to be practiced as a community. Yasmeen Godder does so, through group formations and with collective singing which expose the emotional journeys of each of the performers. They try out different gestures of trust and mutual dependence. Godder speaks of “contagious vulnerability”: the possibility of being physically and emotionally moved by other people, time and again
