Two dancers wake up in a world of gymnastics benches. They begin to explore new spaces, together and on their own, strangers to each other and yet also close, face to face: BETWEEN SPACES – BETWEEN FACES.

The search for a meaning in their everyday madness between loneliness and togetherness drives them on again and again, but their questions are only answered with ever new questions. So they finally leave behind what they once were, strip off their shells and throw them away, forgetting their own expectations and those of the others. They no longer play by rules that are not their own. And in the end, they smash their old world, and use the debris to build a path into something new.

To develop BETWEEN SPACES – BETWEEN FACES, Initiative LUNA PARK e.V. worked with the choreographer Nikoleta Koutitsa who was educated at the National School of Dance in Athens and at DANCE START UP in Bologna. She has worked with the Hellenic Dance Company in New York and with Emanuel Gat at the 2016 Venice Biennale, among others. In 2017, she founded the KN Dance Group with Karolina Theleriti, whose choreographic works and video dance films were presented at festivals in Greece and abroad. Nikoleta Koutitsa has lived in Berlin since 2019, where she is regularly involved in LUNA PARK’s productions and educational projects in addition to her own artistic work as a dance artist.
