Imagine a room with dim light. A low mist is covering the ground. From the dark a body appears. It draws closer. It has no past, no future. It starts to do the Jitterbug. But before you can grasp it, it melts away…
In ONDIER actor and dancer enter an interdisciplinary waiting room. A parade of lonely characters passes by on an aimless quest to express themselves. Searching for their function in this bleak space. Suppressed souls and forgotten figures sway slowly between glamour and disgust, rage and silence, between sparkles and blood. An endless sad party, where you linger even though the atmosphere has long since changed to that of a David Lynch film.
