White for Decay

White for Decay is created for six dancers and a music box. Four dancers perform the piece which examines lives and relationships of people in unusual circumstances.

How a difficult situation can change a person or their personality. How desperation materialises and people turn into a shadow of themselves.

During the creation process the group researched various materials such as news from “Our Century 1939-51”.
