Echoes of Applause
Our latest production, Echoes of Applause, premiered on October 24, 2024, at Tojo Theater Bern, with additional shows during the Reitschule Fest. After a focused three-week creation process, we were excited to showcase a new, performative side of Greywax Dance Company. This piece delves into the idea of recognition—how we see and acknowledge ourselves and each other—through innovative movement and storytelling that invites the audience into a fresh perspective on connection and identity.
Inspiration
This video was created as part of our funding application to showcase Greywax Dance Company’s artistic vision and starting point for Echoes of Applause. To deepen our exploration of the piece’s themes, we invited fellow artists in our community to share their thoughts and feelings about the concept of recognition. Through their responses, we visualize our artistic approach and introduce ourselves as a company, giving insight into the ideas and questions that drive our work.

Echoes of Applause is a piece that dives into the theme of recognition, asking whether the search for acknowledgment has a positive impact on our lives. Through a blend of text and movement, we express this journey and invite the audience to reflect along with us. Performed at Tojo Theater Reitschule Bern, we embraced the unique possibilities this space offers, adapting our piece to explore the theater’s distinctive features. This flexibility has become a core part of the work, allowing us to reshape and adapt the performance for future venues and bring its themes to life in any setting.
