THEATER FOREVER: AS / Linda Hayford / Power of Recall 2025
Tonight we present three powerful duets that explore identity, connection, and transformation. AS Compagnie’s 'Quatre Trois' dissects the essence of Locking to create a raw, communicative encounter between two artists. In 'AlShe/Me', Linda Hayford examines sibling dynamics and transformation in a duet that is both intimate and otherworldly.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Les Gamal will not be able to perform. Instead, we have found a great replacement in 'Power of Recall' by Elise Richards & Aleyna Demir.

AS Compagnie: Quatre Trois
As a duo emerging from the global project Conversation(s), Andrége Bidiamambu and Seren Kano (AS Compagnie) present their debut piece 'Quatre Trois'. In this work, they take Locking beyond its usual setting of battles, practices and showcases, focusing instead on its core elements—groove, rhythm, and technique. They experiment with the form as a shared language, turning their movement into a live conversation between themselves and the audience. The result is a stripped-down, personal, and deeply expressive reimagining of Locking as a communicative artform.

Linda Hayford: AlShe/me
In 'AlShe/Me', Linda Hayford continues her research on metamorphosis and physical transformation. Made for (and with) a brother and a sister, she investigates how we shape and are shaped by those closest to us — emotionally, physically, and subconsciously. Through both similarities and subtle differences, this duet explores the unique bond that can exist between two people. Beyond words and unspoken empathy, it creates space for each person to express their own individuality.
