7 p.m.
Like a trip to Utopia… gone wrong! On stage, a child, neurotypical dancers, and others from the neurodiverse community. They divide the world into two playful and ridiculously arbitrary categories: dolphins on one side and unicorns on the other.
What follows is a kind of fascinating ritual, like an attempt to create together, as a group, a show that is constantly disrupted by the frantic search for the gaze of the other, for their approval. Sometimes, too, the performers allow themselves the luxury of being authentically themselves: embracing their flaws and fragility, turning themselves inside out like a glove to observe the seams and threads that stick out. This frantic back-and-forth between the Self and the Other places the dancers in a precarious balance. And we, the spectators huddled in the shadows, are privileged witnesses to their beauty, their humanity, and their monstrosity.
