The Prix Jardin d'Europe 2011, endowed with EUR 10.000.-, was awarded to "A gesture that is nothing but a threat" by Sofia Dias & Vitor Roriz (PT). Additionally, the winners received a sculpture, designed by the Romanian visual artist Doru Dumitrescu.
Furthermore, residencies at ImPulsTanz (AT) respectively Workspace Brussels/Ultima Vez (BE) were given to Clément Layes and Cecilia Lisa Eliceche.
The work of Dias and Roriz was awarded for “their thorough re-thinking and detailed investigation of the word, voice and sound in relation to embodiment. The piece achieved a personal identity by engaging in the ongoing questioning of the choreography through creative and physical labour; while at the same time opening up a poetic space of thoughts, feelings and, as the two performers enacted a very intimate discovery.” eXplore dance festival
