Angela Alves is disabled. Occasionally, a nerve in her brain inflames, and then she can, for example, no longer see well, walk, or feel. She wonders why disabled people receive so much recognition when they fight against their illness and make extra effort to appear competitive, available, and sexy. Angela Alves does not want to fight—not even against herself. She does not want to be productive because of or despite her disability (allowed to). She simply wants to work with what is there. With the unavailable bodies that resist the glorification of self-exploitation by surrendering to unpredictability and softening where they encounter themselves and others with hardness. This is a Soft Offer.

With her eponymous solo performance, Angela Alves made headlines in 2019 in renowned cultural magazines. Six years after the premiere, she returns to this work for a re-examination: How do we view "diverse bodies" in dance in 2024? Who is laughing at whom? And can everyone really participate everywhere now?
