Colourblind

Is what you see in a performance, the complete truth? Are you getting overwhelmed, dragged into an artistic interpretation? Is it just an illusion, a fairytale about who or what we could be?

Blinding, isn't it?
All this colours.

Or are you just colourblind?

“Anton wanted to travel, took his backpack full of memories and left for the playground at the end of the street…”

Cie. URTO first presented “The urgency of the colour red” at the Int. dance platform “12 Min. Max” (Tanzhaus Zurich). This short piece was, since its creation, performed at several festivals in Switzerland, Belgium and Germany. The unexpected success of those 12 minutes formed the base of the trilogy “Colourblind”.

Two new short pieces and “The urgency of the colour red”, are showing different aspects of Anton’s world. Together they show the portrait of a human being in his vulnerable totality.

“Is white a colour?” … Already thought about this question? No idea how many sorts of green you can think of in the “Variaty of the colour green”? Could a red traffic light be “The urgency of the colour red”?
