Performance · Dance · Shape Festival by Romuald Krężel

“All that I left behind is here” by Romuald Krężel is a solo performance that draws on his personal and artistic experience. By returning to his very first experience of dance – a ballroom dance class, the only one offered free of charge at his primary school – he aims to focus on various aspects of classism in the context of the performing arts.


By relearning and critically reflecting on movements, steps, poses and various styles such as the cha-cha-cha, rumba, jive and so on, he seeks to examine his social background and its relationship to his current choreographic practice.


Through the echoes of ghostly figures and post-punk music, the audience is guided through a journey back into Krężel’s past, culminating in a moving conversation with his mother about class, the body, work, shame and dance.
