«As It Empties Out» is the biggest solo project so far by the dancer and choreographer Jefta van Dinther who’s very physical and wild style is prospering on international stages. In Zurich he last performed at the festival «Keine Disziplin» with his piece «Grind» in which he use lighting in a very unsettling way. «As It Empties Out», again, distorts our perception in an infatuating way and leads us to a place where we lose the sense of time and space. In fantastic sequences Jefta van Dinther morphes the bodies of six dancers into the very place of performance. Through rituals, seemingly endless energy discharges, emotions and an incredible repertoire of modes of expression the dancers outgrow themselves and fill the entire room.
