Chaim Gebber-Open Scene THE REVERSE OF SUBLIME

is a dance work that moves between silence and resonance, between inward listening and outward emergence. It begins in a space of suspension — breath, weight, and presence stripped of ornament — where the world seems to fall away, leaving only the body as witness.

From this quiet ground, sound and memory stir. The dancers trace the textures of stillness: its softness, its unrest, its pulse. What emerges is not surrender, but attention — a sharpening of presence that holds both the echoes of the past and the momentum of what is yet to come.

Carried by breath and gravity, the work unfolds as a passage from introspection into clarity, from solitude into collective resolve. “Stillness / Awakening” asks: what does it mean to pause, to remember, and to rise — not in rage, but in strength, in becoming, together…
