TRACES TO NOWHERE

Performance by Magdalena Hylak

T R A C E S  T O N O W H E R E  explores themes of isolation and the artist’s search for connection and points of anchor within her environment. The title draws from the first episode of David Lynch’s cult classic Twin Peaks. A combination of the need for solitude with the desire for contact and support manifests itself in constant movement, from place to place, experience to experience, leading the dancer into a state of uneasiness, uncertainty and disorientation.

‘I will always feel like a stranger here, but I would feel like a stranger anywhere in the world, detached.’

Dancer/ Choreographer: Magdalena Hylak

Video projection: Cathy Coughlan

Followed by Q&A with choreographer and dance artist Magdalena Hylak.
