Anger is an ever-present and universal force, much like a tempest—inevitable under certain conditions and naturally recurring. It is a dual force: at once destructive and a catalyst for change, a response to imbalance.
In the solo Tempest, Lisbeth Gruwez draws on the precision of martial arts to channel this primal force and raw energy into focused strength. An oscillating body that moves between chaotic sharp surges of energy and the potential for a quiet clarity.
Here, anger is an emotion, embodied as a collective current—a vibration in an energetically charged atmosphere that lingers in the air, moves through and between us, a field we all inhabit and relate to.
Tempest invites us to absorb and transform the storm: to turn rage into strength. A place where elements clash, merge, and subside into a new presence. A porous body encounters this raw force, metabolising turmoil into lucidity.
It is a dance through the eye of the storm—a dance that opens an eye within the storm—revealing the stillness at its heart.
