Subdued is a short performative dance solo (14 min.) accessible for all kinds of audiences because of its simple but compelling narrative and captivating movements. 

Subdued​ is about a man, or rather his body, who has the biggest struggles with the smallest of tasks. The surrounding objects subdue him and play with his mind which forces his body to express these excess feelings. 

He has troubles understanding what his body is doing and the more he tries to control it, the less he has an impact on it. This also translates towards the audience, who witnesses a transformative body which takes on unnatural shapes. 

Something as trivial as opening a bottle of water can be taunting when your body doesn't do what your mind commands it.

Some may talk in silence. Others move in stillness.

My body moves and uses words my mouth has never learned,
to say things that my mind can't comprehend.

I might be subdued, but not my body.
