Pulling VDT’s work away from its usual dramatic arcs, seamless partner work and emotional narratives, If We Go On asks ten seasoned performers “If you had one last dance in you, what shape would it take?”. A still dance? A simple text? A faltering song? A joke? A manifesto? A tearjerker?
Laying bare the mechanics of theatre, and structured around ten solo acts, If We Go On allows the performers to embrace uncertainty, not knowing and forgetfulness. It is a piece shaped by hesitation and incoherence and offers a glimpse into the constant internal striving that takes place within the performer as things slip in and out of their control. If We Go On investigates theatrical failure as a kind of narrative, through looking at the relationship between language and dance, between music and silence and between moving and not moving at all.
