I’ll be there for you (for me) explores Western self-culture and our need for collectivity. Confessing her ambiguity about the prevailing system (ca-pi-ta-lism), her desire to be part of it, her fears of leaving it and the despondency it provokes, Lorena Spindler invites performers to explore these contradictions. Drawn from a variety of (in)disciplines - contemporary dance, hip-hop, breakdance, sabar, theater (...) - the group offers a trans-disciplinary performance that is perfectionist-creative-cute-care-egotrip-communitarian. 

Thanks to their regenerating presences, she shakes up the anxiety-inducing, isolating yet attractive fable of life based on self-realization. On the lookout for the system's recuperation of our struggles for ever greater power, she looks for possible dissidences in our complicit relationships, our invocations of joy, our practices of danced listening and our shared sweetnesses. 

“If I'm there for you, will you be there for me?”
