We Thought We Knew What We Were Doing is a testament to the way unexpected forces in life may subvert our most carefully considered plans: the unpredictable, surprising, the ever changing that demands adaptation. In performance (only!) paint drips from the ceiling, gradually rendering the floor slick.. The colours of the paint are trailed across the stage and onto the bodies of the dancers, leaving a manifesto of their admirable playful struggle.<\/p>\n

Based on an original idea by American choreographer Frey Faust, the show is reworked and directed in collaboration with Luxembourg based choreographer Emanuela Iacopini. Following Tables (2013) and UNDO (2017), We Thought We Knew What We Were Doing is the third co-production of her company VEDANZA Artists International with Th\u00e9\u00e2tre National du Luxembourg.<\/p>\n
