Innuendo

With ‘Catch the Breath’, the Berlin-based dance collective Innuendo presents a powerful stage production exploring seven forms of mental distress. Across seven chapters, the company uses choreography to examine burnout, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders and anxiety disorders.


What makes this production special is that Innuendo breaks away from conventional viewing conventions and makes ‘Heels Dance’ the central narrative element. The heels become a symbol of the fine line between control and loss of control.


Every step demands precision and balance – whilst our inner equilibrium may be thrown into turmoil. At the heart of the piece lies the tension between the façade we maintain for the outside world each day and the painful pressure within.


‘Catch the Breath’ combines contemporary dance and theatre into a moving exploration of mental strain, vulnerability and the attempt to catch one’s breath amidst inner struggles.
