Silhouette Letters is an emotional duet about relationships, silence and memories. Two dancers work with a long rope as a symbol of connection and separation, combining contemporary dance with acrobatics in an intimate, physically compelling choreography. In a quiet space, a long rope hangs from the ceiling. The rope serves as both a connector and a barrier between the two dancers, who relentlessly explore their interdependence through spatial tension, masterful movements and gestures. Silhouette Letters' contemporary dance performance is a deeply personal and evocative work inspired by the choreographer's own childhood experiences growing up without a father. At the heart of the piece is an exploration of the emotional imprint left by absence, illuminating the often overlooked complexities of relationships that exist - and even thrive - in the silences, imaginations and spaces we create within ourselves for those who are no longer (or never quite were) present. The choreography plays with dualities - presence and absence, connection and disconnection, self and other - and invites the audience to reflect on the invisible threads that connect us to others, even in broken or unresolved relationships. Choreographer: Artūrs Nīgalis (Latvia) Dance: Mārīte Supe, Arturs Nigalis The performance is part of the international festival TANEC PRAHA 2026.
