Visual Story (PDF) , external link.

When we are children, laziness ends when we stretch in the morning, and only returns when we are exhausted from playing. When we are adults, laziness rears its head with shame when faced with a piling workload, and no one wants to admit that they are feeling it. When we are halfway through, time can be savoured, and what can be done tomorrow remains suspended in the sweetness of a yawn.

 

Does Laziness Attack? is a dance performance, interpreted by a female and male dancer, developing around the theme of laziness.

 

The question that gives the performance its name was asked to a group of people with distinct professions – a biologist, an illustrator, a politician, a choreographer, a dancer, an activist, an athlete, and others – and it is from their answers, within the slow suggestions of the aspects of laziness, like will, fatigue and pleasure, that this play for young audiences was created: poetic, paradoxical and extremely fun.
