Jurij tells us: “I (still) find the most radical question to be: Where are we now? Here, now. Today. Any look at the previous (year) would result in a comparison and emphasis of what used to be an unburdened experience. The context has changed. The past is nothing more than a memory and thus one of the elements of what makes us, here now.”
For the second time, two dancers, a vocalist, and an instrumentalist come together. They all use improvisation not only as a method but as their core interest. They embark on uncertainty of form and perhaps even on new rules: a quiet dancing body and a loud sonic body, and on top of that a radical body of voice in the field of improvisation and performance in a potential tension. But this is not a conceptualized project, but rather an improvisation as collective composition which takes place through a dialogue between two performative mediums – music and dance. As that which welcomes mistakes, slips, and disasters on stage.
Connections wish to be open, fluid, evasive, untameable, indefinable, and unspeakable on all levels … contextually, thematically, formally, in terms of content, production, execution … Connections are and are not … disconnected.
# where are we # here now # new context on horizon # perhaps even new roles
