Shrouded in darkness at the beginning, LEIB - What does a body desire? unfolds an acoustic experience of crackling and soft sounds that fill the room. Gradually, a fireplace appears in the light and the stage becomes a place of sensual, poetic evocation. With voice, music, objects and movement, it is not a spirit that is conjured up, but the body itself - as the first space of feeling and encounter.
Cuatro X Cuatro is known for its innovative works that are deeply rooted in social contexts. This first part of their trilogy is about opening up a new unfolding for the body. The body is perceived as a collective voice that speaks to nature, dreams, the night and the sun. Dance becomes a space in which another world is possible - or at least a way of experiencing and understanding this world. LEIB is a sign for all those who have disappeared to find their way home again.
