Amàta: contemporary dance performance on connection, Mait Agu hall, Tallinn University

It starts with a feeling. A curiosity. A connection. In the disconnect.

In a world that moves faster than we can feel, we long for moments of real human closeness. What does it mean to be connected to someone? Is sensing each other enough for closeness?

Amàta is a contemporary dance performance born from a collaboration between artists from Estonia, Spain and Italy. The work explores the tensions between being alone and being together, with the body at its centre as a universal means of communication.

Maria Kõrvits’s original score moves the dancers across the space like autumn wind through falling leaves: unpredictable, dynamic and intense. Light and movement come together to form a stage whole that invites you to step out of everyday life for a moment and experience something real.

Amàta is led by Amanda Tender and Eva Lotta Kliimask, recent graduates of the choreography programme at the BFM school of Tallinn University. “We have both developed our artistic language abroad too, and now we want to take on an even bigger challenge: to create our own international project.”

Our goal? For you to leave the hall feeling as fresh as a clean white shirt straight from the wash.
