Wojciech Grudziński

CUTE & AWKWARD

[8:tension] Young Choreographers' Series 2026

“Changes are shifting outside the word”, Annie Lennox sings in her melancholically hypnotic No More “I Love You’s”. They shift in the realm of the unsaid, in the body, or: between bodies. CUTE & AWKWARD is how the performers in Wojciech Grudziński’s “solo act performed by two” encounter each other. Besides Lennox, the piece takes “Fantom”, the first gay cruising bar in post-communist Warsaw, as a cultural reference point. The dance floor becomes a place of negotiation between dreams of escape into the intimacy of two and the magnetic pull of societal circumstances: “How to disappear and remain present at the same time?” Together with co-performer Lucas Lagomarsino, Grudziński creates a choreography which follows “a gesture of being moved rather than moving.”
