Kikker op Locatie: Oxygen Debt

Put on your sportswear and get ready for an hour of sweating during the philosophical spinning class Oxygen Debt, in which you train both body and soul. 

Together with Luit Bakker as your tireless fitness coach and other participants you’ll explore the limits of your own body. While you are moving and the oxygen debt in your muscles increases, you inevitably find yourself contemplating what is currently happening in your body. How does your heart beat, where does the blood flow, how do your muscles contract, what is breathing?

The faster we cycle, the closer we get to the sweaty reality that the body doesn’t always do what we want. Do we dare to see our body as a reminder of our temporality, our heartbeat as what binds us to this earth? In a time in which makeability and progress are key, the performance offers a comforting and soft perspective on ourselves and each other: as people who slowly, very slowly, come to a standstill.

The language in Oxygen Debt is English.
