O - Showing of the results of the residency

Tanztendenz

O explores the relationship between two bodies walking along an imaginary drawn circle. Over time, this walk becomes a dance in which the two performers* gradually relate to each other more and more, attracting, repelling or pursuing each other. It seems as if they are physical forces acting on their bodies through space, evoking certain sequences of movements and nourishing and charging themselves with each circle they complete. In the process, the performers' use of voice and breathing ultimately leads to another circuit, between the inner and outer worlds. Thus, their vocal cords become sonic seismographs of their bodily actions, which gradually, to the point of complete exhaustion, break down the static formal structure. Another main element of our work is the examination of the role of sound and music as dramaturgical and form-building elements. Therefore we investigate, among other things, the effect of spatial extensions through live recordings and their influence on the movements of the dancers and the perception of the spectators. Our goal is to make the energetic and symbolic potential of O tangible and to open up an abstract space in which predictable events and unexpected transformations inspire existential reflection and contemplation.
