Below the Skin / Aly Khamees

Loverage: The Last Fear

To mark its 30th anniversary, Tanzhaus Zürich is hosting the MovingTowardsZero festival (26–28 June 2026): a utopian space where art, activism and community come together. Loverage: The Last Fear is part of MovingTowardsZero.

Loverage: The Last Fear is a 30‑minute sharing of an ongoing choreographic research and work‑in‑progress. The piece asks what moves us when fear no longer leads the way and introduces Loverage, a fusion of love and leverage, as a quiet yet powerful force that emerges through care, attention, and embodied connection. Through dance and live music, the work explores love and rage as intertwined energies that shape how we remain connected in times of crisis and uncertainty.

The choreography grows out of workshops with people from different backgrounds, and the movement is shaped by lived experiences and collective creation. Bodies respond to and support one another, offering a glimpse into a developing movement language where connection, care, and trust become sources of strength.

The Last Fear offers insight into a longer artistic process of Aly Khamees and his company Below the Skin, with the aim of developing the work into a full‑length stage production in the 2027/28 season.
