The motivation from the jury: To be able to take part in Mari Carrasco's work "Remind Me I'm not Dead" during the isolation of the pandemic is a reminder of the power of dance, the function of the party and the importance of movement for human expression. Based on the individual's own rhythm, a collective stream of groove and pulse is built. By challenging the forward movement and pace of the time, Mari Carrasco's choreography provides both an experience of dizziness and of closeness.
