About the performance
In the latest performance by Conny Janssen Danst we observe twelve characters who apparently have nothing to do with each other. Through film images and live dance we see slices of life and we zoom in on the different small lives. With a mosaic of stories we discover what connects them. Where their individual lives touch without them even realizing it.

In Framed, video plays a major role. Conny Janssen works together with set designer Thomas Rupert and filmmaker Davide Bellotta. A 33 m2 LED screen represents the skin of the city like an abstract painting. The film images shown serve as a light source and emotional sensor for the adventurous group of dancers consisting of young talent and familiar faces. The music in Framed is a varied soundtrack that moves between crystal clear classical music and cinematic urban soundscapes.

'With Framed we see different lives in the city: each in its own rhythm and routine, each with its own desire. We create an associative world, a mosaic of fragments in which the figures pass by, wandering in their own thoughts. Especially in this time, in which we live more isolated than we might like, we show that everyone deals in their own way with the feeling that lies behind our daily lives.' - Conny Janssen.
