What is reality, what is suggestion? Our mind is constantly constructing, juggling with experiences, perceptions, influences. Sugar Pill accelerates this process. Inspired by the placebo effect, the psychological impact of dummy medications and the phenomenon
of the Uncanny Valley (Unheimliches Tal), the discomfort toward artificial figures that are all too similar to real persons, bodies are caught in a play between the human and the almost-human. What seems real tips over into the artificial. And truth is what the brain makes of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her intense dance piece, the production award winner of the renowned Hanover Choreography Competition continues the Showcase series, utilizing the immediate proximity between the audience and the ensemble for a multifaceted journey into our perception. In doing so, she combines her classical roots with contemporary practices and subtle observation.
