This event has passed.

A choreographic and musical project in which rope skipping is used as a percussive element to manifest embodied rhythms.

Parini Secondo and Bienoise focus on the sound produced by rope skipping, dissecting its timbral possibilities. The jumpers perform a rhythmic and at the same time choreographic score in which “single-unders,” “side-swings,” and “double-unders” are both athletic and musical elements: combined with voice and synthetic sounds, they harmonize into a true HIT.

HIT (out) elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes is an echo of rebellion against those forces that would have us lying motionless on the ground with our eyes closed.

This is a part of our Fall 2025 Season Launch festivities that does not require registration.
