Touched / Fragile EU project (2013)

TOUCHED is a choreography by Kjersti Kramm Engebrigtsen that was part of her dance project FRAGILE, an EU project and a performance where the blind and partially sighted dance together with able-bodied people. Kjersti Kramm Engebrigtsen was the initiator of the project.

TOUCHED is a meeting between two worlds, the sighted and the blind, where the performers try to develop a common language while exploring their own individual voice.

The FRAGILE project was a tripple bill consisting of TOUCED by Kjersti, PLEXUS by Estonian choreographer Ajjar Ausma and EDGE by Portuguese choreographer Ana Rita Barata.
