‘arena /act three’ is an in situ creation for Jan Fabre/Troubleyn Laboratorium. It was created for two current dancers   from the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, based on the sport of wrestling. A research between movement in sports and movement in dance, which leads to a deeper look into the nature of performance, with 'movement' as being the protagonist.
The experiment to introduce a different language, that of sports, stimulates to create and sign another sensitivity in the choreographic work.
