Rollstuhlfahrer*innen Surtitles Audio description
The group Stopgap made the piece.
They have been making art together for 20 years.
Very different people are part of the group.
They are a community of differences.
And they also show this on stage.
In the play Lived Fiction, movement, language and thoughts merge.
The result is a story.

Lived Fiction by Stopgap Dance Company shows how dance can be made radically barrier-free. Accessibility as an artistic principle brings forth a beauty that harbours the potential to change our perception in the long term. Stopgap Dance Company‘s brilliant production celebrates its Swiss premiere.

In Lived Fiction, movement, language and inventiveness merge into a lively whole. A multi-layered audio description, surtitles and movement stand side by side on an equal footing and determine the aesthetics of the piece. Solos, duets and group scenes alternate and allow dreamlike poetry to meet powerful choreography.
