KATRIN ESSENSON /EST/
’Thoughts with attachment’

Premiered last October ’Thoughts with attachment’ is focused on the phenomenon of pleasure within the context of performance. It is clear that the pleasure has poor possibilities for intriguing communication solely on the level of motor reflex; at the same time we can not take the pleasure merely as plain text or simplistic phenomenon.

Katrin Essenson has created dance performances since 1998. Her works have been performed at various dance and performance festivals in Estonia, Germany, Poland, Holland, Slovenia, Macedonia and France.
