FAIR DISTANCE
Duration 45 min.
Premiered 2022
The connection and the gap, the attachment and the release, the approach and the increasing distance are the dichotomies that accompany a person's whole life. In the flow, in running, in short-term communication, in empty conversations, in memories, in grief, in transatlantic flights, in longing and reconciliation, the distance between oneself and the other is constantly changing, constantly creating and re-creating human connection, exhausting and igniting hope.
“A Fair Distance” is a moving dialogue between two bodies and personalities about what makes our entire social world rotate incessantly: immediacy and isolation, dependence and liberation, an all-encompassing duality in which distance is impossible without distance and distance is born in connection. The dance performance invites the audience into a space of self-reflection, without selling any answers, but raising the question of how to maintain a distance that creates and let us grow rather than destroys us and our relationship in a time of intense social noise.

Connection and detachment, attachment and letting go, coming closer and growing further apart
are dichotomies that accompany all human life among people. In flow, running, short-term
connections, empty conversations, memories, grievances, transatlantic flights, longing and
reconciliation, the distance between self and other is constantly changing, ceaselessly creating
and re-creating human connection, exhausting and igniting hope.
“Fair distance” is a dialogue between two bodies and personalities in movement about what
makes our entire social world revolve incessantly: immediacy and detachment, dependence and
liberation, an all-encompassing duality where connection is impossible without distance and
distance is born of connection. The dance performance invites the audience to a space of self-
reflection, without offering answers, but raising the question of how to maintain a distance that
creates, nurtures, and not destroys us and our relationships.

Reviews
"The performance encourages self-reflections about distances in its broadest sense, about the boundaries, ours and those of the others, about the preservation of one’s autonomy and the loss of an “I”.”

“A. Mozūraitis and A. C. Bibiano are well-known dancers in the professional Lithuanian contemporary dance scene. They can boast not only about their well-trained bodies, but also about their constant aim to look for new possible expressions. However, in the performance we will not find their desire to please, to show off or to entertain the audience. Dance is a mirror to them in which they can reflect the present, explore themselves and the environement in which they live.”
