SILVER LINING

What happens when you stop and it doesn't stop? Physical Pain turns everything upside down; day and night are out of sync. Silver Lining transforms this feeling of pain into an exploration of the body - its peculiarities, limitations and abilities. Four dancers move through and with pain, turning it into a motor for self-realisation. By combining different styles - breaking, krump and contemporary dance - they express something that cannot be put into words. The result is a moving portrait of four bodies that share their pain with each other and with the audience while offering each other support.

Constantin Trommlitz

is a German dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker based in Amsterdam. With a background in Break Dance and after competing for many years in the battle scene, he performed as a dancer for different Dutch companies. In 2021, he started to create his own work, always ranging between dance and film. Currently, Constantin is seeking the development of his choreographic language and the research of (chronic) pain through movement. Constantin’s work is supported by Korzo, The Hague amonst other places.

At K3, Constantin will continue his movement and choreography research Antibodies which addresses the topic of chronic pain. After a medical diagnosis about his chronic pain, he started to use dance and digtal art to to process and express pain. He will explore his relationship with pain as a dancer with a background in breaking, and include perspectives of dancers with other styles. Interested in how movement can be a tool to share pain, Constantin wants to change the narrative of pain being a limitation into a motor.
