𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is a choreographic exploration of proprioception and balance. Over the course of three hours, Alexandra Mihaela Dancs and Vlad Benescu engage with a large tandem balancing apparatus, responding to its shifting dynamics with precision and care. Their movements emerge from a constant negotiation between stability and imbalance, creating a subtle dialogue of control, fragility, and adaptation.
The performance unfolds as a living laboratory - a meditation on failure and recovery, trust and awareness. It reflects on how we regain equilibrium in unstable conditions, both physical and emotional, inviting the audience to witness balance as an ever-changing state rather than a fixed ideal.

𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗠𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘀 and 𝗩𝗹𝗮𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗰𝘂 are independent contemporary dance artists who have been collaborating since 2022. Their work moves between choreography, somatic research, site-specific performance and technology, with a particular interest in balance and the ways digital culture reshapes movement and human interaction.
Alexandra has performed in works by leading contemporary choreographers and has created and co-created performances, including solo projects, presented in national and international contexts. Vlad has performed internationally, works as a unicycle acrobat and lighting designer, and holds a PhD in Theatre and Performing Arts.
Together, they have created 𝐿𝑢𝑎𝑡̦𝑖 𝑑𝑒 𝑉𝐴𝐿…𝑠 (2022), 𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑎 𝑑𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒 (2024), 𝑆𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝐹𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑘𝑠 - 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑜𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑠 𝑅𝑒𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 (2024), and 𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑙𝑢𝑅𝐸𝐸𝐿𝑢 (2025). Their projects range from the intimacy of an old house transformed into a performance space to experiments with proprioception and choreographic-technological chaos, often approaching contemporary life through humour and irony.
Both have been danceWEB scholars at ImPulsTanz Vienna and have taken part in numerous international residencies. Their ongoing collaboration investigates movement, play and risk with a distinct experimental approach.
The event is part of the 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗭𝗜𝗧 contemporary dance season. The programme brings together seven performances, productions and co-productions developed in recent years at Casa Tranzit, alongside works by artists with whom the space is opening new directions of collaboration. The season brings together artists close to Casa Tranzit, alongside invited artistic groups from Belgium, the USA/India, France and Rojava.
