Das Programm im Detail

The Multitude
The performers relate to one another in the given space, allowing for altered states to arise. Predicaments manifest between one another and the protest crowd as a phenomenological approach is touched on.
“I had the sensation around penetration – and at the same time eagerness to come to a place of sedimentation and to go beyond and eventually toward settlement” – Bela Demirkalp.

Kendime Çıkan Bir Yokuş (A Slope Leading to Myself)
This piece of collaboration is aware that it is being performed as a humorous reflection on attention problem and technological dependency of human species.

First and third part is written by the composer, second is a poem called “Do” by Turkish poet Özdemir Asaf.

eel-dream
The concept for this project derives from the current interests of both artists and was developed in an atmosphere of constant exchange as a dialogue between music and dance. The elements of the movement material are part of Athina’s current artistic-academic research, which concerns the interrelation of Contemporary and Greek Traditional Dance. In her composition, Atousa seeks to engage with human emotions, both the most palpable and unspeakable ones.
Tanz: Athina ANDROULIDAKI
Komposition: Atousa FALAMARZIAN
Gesang: Ellen Rose KELLY
E-Gitarre: Derek PLUNKIE

Wir sind einsam
The idea for this piece comes from a fragment of one of the letters Rainer Maria Rilke sent to Franz Xaver Kappus in August 1904, a short but strong reflection on loneliness. This idea is symbolically represented by dancing on the islands and places of exile, slowly removing the inner walls with lively body movements, the possibility of seeing more of the night sky on tiptoe, and just maybe the light will penetrate to illuminate the darkness.
Choreographie: Junjian WANG
Komposition: Sergi PUIG
Tanz: Junjian WANG; Eunji JI; Jiaji CHENG; Shuting WANG
Musiker*innen: Beatriz RAMOS (soprano); Irati GOÑI (cello); Sergi PUIG (synthesizer)
