Zäsur

A female performer looks at a distant and near past and, seeking insight, enters into dialogue with Gustav Mahler, Friedrich Hölderlin, Rosa Luxemburg, Yvonne Rainer, Straub/Huillet and experimental metal genres, among others. As she moves in and out of choreographic space, the audience is invited to follow her into a labyrinth of intensity and distance, intimate and distant situations. She always asks herself, "Why did it happen this way and not another?".

The aesthetic and artistic premise of Zäsur is the question: 'What is the function of a rupture, understood as a moment in a process of change?' Fractures or shifts manifest themselves over time; in an individual, in a history, in a social or political context. Dancing and thinking from different personal, artistic and theoretical perspectives, she explores Zäsur thus the possible meanings, bodily experiences, feelings and movements of the specific impact of a fracture. This creates a distinctive and intriguing movement language, oscillating between aesthetic formalism and brutality.
