With 'A Story of Displacement', Panama Pictures shows how we relate to our environment and how we interact with each other in these disruptive times. Our language of dance and circus reveals both the strength and vulnerability of the searching human. Supporting and uplifting each other, the dancers strive for a collective victory in this dystopian landscape.

The music, a reinterpretation of contemporary techno, is specially composed by Strijbos and Van Rijswijk and Davide Bellotta, and performed live by Davide Bellotta (electronics) and a cellist.

In 'A Story of Displacement', we encounter a group of people adrift, searching for a familiar place, a home. Wobbling on uncertain ground, they are in danger of sinking and being left behind. In this no man's land, they are dependent on each other.

The quest in 'A Story of Displacement' takes place in a barren landscape with rocky slopes and undulating floor panels, which prove to be elastic. These springy floor panels break the fall of the performers, distort and weigh down their movements, but sometimes allow them to almost fly – moments of weightlessness create a sharp contrast with slipping, tumbling, and searching for grip.

In this isolated landscape, it seems that different laws of nature apply, giving rise to a new, fascinating movement idiom.
