Exposure

How much nature is still in us humans? In EXPOSURE, contemporary dance, Afro-Cuban tradition and spectacular hip-hop culture meet to the live sounds of star composer and film musician Ben Frost in a physical production by choreography greats Julio César Iglesias Ungo and Hans van den Broeck. EXPOSURE is the fourth world premiere of the Urban Arts Ensemble Ruhr. It meets the Danza Contemporánea de Cuba from Havana, a dance company known for its Cuban modern dance techniques and winner of over 70 awards worldwide.

EXPOSURE is a radical-physical search for our primal instincts and their release. The audience experiences an immediately moving ceremony of howmuch nature still lives in us humans. With great physical commitment – immersed in charged and meditative sound spaces – the dancers open up anintimate view into their identity and their connection to each other. In doing so, they raise the question of what it would be like to be able to dropmasks and feel what our bodies have forgotten. Lifelines, dreams and stories touch each other and need no dialog to be understood. The performanceof EXPOSURE is a journey to the human being, to life itself, that has probably never been seen before.
