IMPEDANCE

IMPEDANCE is a contemporary dance performance and the third joint choreographic project of Lara Frgačić and Endi Schrötter produced by SABMARINE, who in their work are continuously engaged in the exploration of interpersonal relationships. Following the performances Individuet
(2021) and Talking Head Case (2022), this project deepens their interest through the exploration of the concept of resistance and energy. Inspired by the concept of impedance – resistance to the passage of energy through a system – the play explores the body's reactions to the forces that move, stop and transform them. A special focus is placed on individual ways of coping with resistance, which results in rich choreographic explorations of the relationship between energy, body and resistance. Performers Endi Schrötter, Gendis Putri Kartini and Dorotea Domović explore brisk and instinctive reactions through movement, as well as subtle forms of adaptation and surrender. The play reflects on how energy is transferred, shared and consumed between people, and how bodies become systems of transformation through tensions, balances and impulsive changes. IMPEDANCE offers a new vision of resistance – not only as an obstacle, but also as a source of connection, change and growth – inviting us to reflect on how through resistance we find strength and understanding in relationships with others.
