It’s in the Air is an aerial, dynamic piece in which the two dancers use trampolines as extensions of their bodies. The infinite swinging of bodies propelled in the air paradoxically creates an impression of stillness. The choreography produces a quasi-cinematic experience, displaying all the nuances between activity and passivity.

Steven Cohen Boudoir
If, up until now, the performances of the South African artist have consisted of exposing himself onstage or in public spaces, in his latest piece Steven Cohen plays host to audiences from within the confines of an intimate, private space, the boudoir. The latter, a chapel or refuge, becomes a place in which he gathers up his memories of his past - as well as those of the last century, gruesome though they may be.

How do we go about presenting the adaptation of a famous film to the Lebanese authorities in charge of censorship? We come to realize that it is about a film which recounts the improbable encounter between two very dissimilar individuals both of whom are experiencing social alienation in fascist Italy in 1938. The adaptation is set in Beirut in 2007, shortly after an Israeli attack on Lebanon.
