As the description reads: “One.one is beautifully balanced between serenity, abstraction and excitement.”
For young Romanian choreographer, the body is a constant source for research, and in his solo One.One he plays with the dynamics of football and with the image and rules of perception. Florin juggles with the viewer’s concentration and manipulates expectations through his powerful bodily control. Comparing this performance to that of Hooman Sharifi, the importance of understanding movements becomes all the more apparent: Florin moves without moving, scores a goal whilst standing motionless, and shows the audience what he wants to show. Not at any point does he give away his next step before executing it.
Witty, painfully controlled, mathematically devised, and powerfully performed, Florin Flueraş’ One.One scores.
