“Superthing invites the audience into a landscape where the boundaries between presence and absence are blurred and silence becomes full of possibilities. The immersive choreography, layered sound and ever-changing imagery transform the stage into a living space of longing and hope, reflecting the fragile states of the modern world. Bodies and space vibrate with untold stories and suspended moments. The viewer is invited to feel what has been lost, what remains and what may yet emerge.

“Superthing is a place where patience and emptiness open the door to new visions of the future. Open and thoughtful, it invites us to slow down, to notice what often goes unnoticed, and to think about how we can dream together again.

“In the margins of every story lives silence. There are spaces – barely remembered, almost lost – where presence looms in the shadow of nothingness. It is in these spaces that Superthing was born.

What happens when our narratives no longer try to define the future? When stories break away from language and memory? We move slowly, sometimes frozen, trying to hear a pulse, a pause, a breath – signs of life where there seems to be nothing. We follow traces and shadows, gestures that only hint, bodies that appear and disappear again. Here, the choreography is shaped not only by what happens, but also by what never happens.

This work invites us to pause on the margins: between reality and imagination, being together and apart, proximity and distance, sound and silence. The dancers move in a landscape of changing time, where meanings disappear and reappear.

We have created the art of waiting – patiently and eagerly. We invite you to a space where you can notice not only what is, but also what is not. Here, absence takes weight and form. It becomes a silent companion rather than an empty space.

We, the choreographers of the performance, invite you to stop for a moment and listen to the stories behind the silence,” say the choreographers.
