Dance your way back to the Renaissance
The sound installation Two in Time guides you through two worlds, each with its own rhythm. A pair of headphones and 15 minutes: that’s all you need to travel through time.
At court during the Renaissance, dance was much more than simply moving to music. It was a dancing calling card. Dance masters wrote down exactly how one was supposed to move. Those who knew the right steps made an impression. Those who stumbled were not easily forgotten.
Outside the castle walls, a very different rhythm could be heard. At markets, harvest festivals and weddings, people laughed, sang and danced exuberantly. Dancing together symbolised connection and equality: everyone belonged.
At Two in Time, these two worlds from times long past come together. Discover how dance was the language through which people back then celebrated, met one another and showed their place in the world.
