It's not easy being straight. Like watching Sisyphus roll his rock up the mountain, Linearity shows the fascinatingly endless task of imposing straightness on an irregular world.  

Location Parade/Torenpodium
Running time 25 min.
Genre Dance

With rolls of bright adhesive tape, two ambitious and energetic dancers restructure their environment by creating straight lines in the unlikeliest of places. Bit by bit, recognizable forms emerge on the ground and in the air.  

Linearity is an extended dialogue between straight lines and luxurious curves and wiggles.  How straight do we really want to be? How many curves can we handle?
