Nele Tiidelepp’s performance “nights around counting steps (and fade to black)” is a process of exploring the possibilities of finding rhythm and falling out of it through dance and choreography.
Rhythm is a way of dividing time, accompanied by emotional implications. Rhythm is a time-space surrounded by beats. What happens during a beat is clear. What remains between two beats is a blank space, something to be filled in.
Three performers try to remember the past, copy each other, move through space with momentum, carry on and repeat.
