During a gloomy January in 2021, after a year of solitude and screen time, of no social dancing, no concerts, no clubs to go to to shake off the reality of our everyday lives, we found each other at the gym skipping vigorously. Simultaneously exhausted, bored and lonely, we sought inspiration in the past, hoping for the future to arrive faster while skipping the present. 

"Hopp" is a performance about rope skipping, a dwelling in the nostalgia of a childhood playtime activity and a reach-out for new meanings of old movements. Guided by complex associations emerging from simple actions, the audience plunges into a pulsating landscape, an imaginary playground, where getting tired is inevitable as we seek excitement.
