Hey Stop!!!
Spring Dance Collective (UK/China)
There aren’t as many spectators in life as you think. This powerful
interdisciplinary performance, influenced by the dance-theatre style of
Pina Bausch, integrates physical expression and symbolic installations
to challenge perceptions of social anxiety. Are we really being watched?
Or is it all in our heads? This fear can stem from a distorted sense of
self, but as Hey Stop!!! shows, there is often a significant gap between
perception and reality. Contrasting exaggerated fears with actual social
interactions, the piece breaks this misconception and ultimately
challenges the fear of “being watched”. A profound reflection on modern
social psychology.
