The debut – the first solo dance work by two young authors and dance artists Polett Kasza and Mateja Železnik entitled SQUARE1. The work focuses on thinking itself and in particular on what can be described as overthinking – being caught up in thoughts without end and without stop…With movements that are tentative careful and repetitive the dancers create loops that can completely take over one’s mind and perhaps in their own way also capture the spirit from the statement of Yvonne Rainer, one of the icons of contemporary dance and choreography art who back in 1960s  famously wrote: The Mind Is a Muscle.
