“A blond girl in a light blue dress, on heels. I’ve barely begun to watch her, when it happens: a hand moves over her body as if it has a mind of its own. And I realize that I”m glad she’s back. Little gestures and simple movements make for a surprisingly fascinating performance.”

Hans Maarten Post on Utopia Parkway

“Simple, but brilliant.”

In her previous performances Charlotte Vanden Eynde often worked with objects and video in such a way that she was flirting with fine arts. In I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story she expresses her associative language of images with pure movement and dance. She is looking for the ‘image’ and poetry in movement. Vanden Eynde performs on the balance between theatricality and abstraction. She experiments with meaning and emotion, but keeps the viewer guessing after what he is supposed to see. I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story asks a personal interpretation of its audience. Whoever expects to be able to discover a story will be disappointed. But whoever refuses to see a story will be in trouble. I’m Sorry It’s (Not) A Story is exactly that, a story that is not a story, yet is a story… for those who want it to be.

This performance is dedicated to Lhasa de Sela, the Canadian singer, who died of breast cancer on the 1st of January 2010 at the age of 37. Her song Cara de la Pared/Face to the Wall is used in the piece.
