DON´T LET ME DOWN // IN THE END

Abstract

DON’T LET ME DOWNOur origins start before we can remember, so inevitably we have to take someone's word for howthings began. And though we prize a sense of choice and causality, we are actually untethered, flailingaround in space. Pushing against nothing, just to feel our bodies burn. And so we are drifting along inthe current of something we don't understand (and the truth is we don't need to understand anything toappreciate life)... a bit of joy, some pain, and the sheer fucking luck of being here at all.//IN THE ENDIn The End marks the end of the studies of the BA students of dance at LHÍ. In The End is a dance that reflects the transformative aspect of endings. What is born from the end of something? Is the end the same for me and you? This combination of dances — which represent endings in one way or another — are drawn from existing choreographic works as well as from the dance vocabulary of the graduates. Together they weave a series of different ending dances to create new compositions. This concurrence of dances affects the movement, but this impact doesn't compromise the quality of the dances, but rather allows their transformation. The end result is a hybrid through which we see renewed physical constellations and configurations, a testament to the coexistence of multiple endings.
