You squeeze my hand right before the steps begin. We dance together after the hospital calls. You lead me, hands holding, are we on a date after all? I say thank you and you ask: What for? Intimacy is the ungraspable feeling of warmth, eroticism, vulnerability or tenderness. In WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, the disabled dancers Fia Neises and Irene Giró invite the audience into spaces of “access intimacy” (Mia Mingus). They will disrupt prevalent habits of seeing, hearing and time and while hanging in the air, surrender to the illusion of independence. Accompanied by musician Jana Sotzko, they share stories of ambivalence and intimacy in assistance. Those who wish can participate or otherwise witness with pleasure.

The guest performance ‘WITH OT WITHOUT YOU’ is made possible by a co-operation between Gessnerallee and Integrart, a network project for inclusive stage art.
