Emanuel Gat (FR | IL)

The Goldlandbergs

The story of a family in fugal form: in The Goldlandbergs the Israeli choreographer Emanuel Gat conveys an intimate view of the complexity of human relationships. His piece is based on Glenn Gould’s recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, made several months before the pianist’s death in 1981, as well as on Gould’s 1977 radio documentary The Quiet in the Land. In the manner of a fugue Gould contrapuntally combined with music and sound effects the voices and noises collected in a Mennonite community in Manitoba, Canada.

His portrait of a strictly religious family whose way of life comes under increasing pressure in the 20th century is also a multi-layered reflection on society and social co-existence, on art and politics. Gat works with movement in the same way Gould did with sound. Clear structures leaving space for spontaneity open multifaceted perspectives on social contexts and their influence on the individual. “The Goldlandbergs” investigates the contrapuntal essence of choreography and grants dancers and viewers alike the freedom to make their own artistic and interpretational decisions.

Cecilia Bengolea / François Chaignaud (AR | FR)

altered natives’ Say Yes to Another Excess – TWERK

Cecilia Bengolea and François Chaignaud have been going to discos since they were teenagers. In locations as varied as London and New York City, they have become familiar with and learnt popular dances like Jamaican dancehall, krump, house, or split & jump. In altered Natives’ Say Yes To Another Excess – TWERK they transpose this found material to the stage.

“Outspoken, bold in many ways, humorous, and excessive when it comes to physical commitment, the gang of five tries to intertwine in the most unusual positions. They claim they ‘devour and multi-colonise one another’; and here the choreography does not result from one overbearing author, but is dissolved in the community.” (Libération, Marie-Christine Vernay) This work and its playful writing process were created in harmony with a musical investigation of Grime music. It is the first time that the DJs Elijah and Skilliam, from the London label Butterz, will play in a theatre and collaborate with contemporary dancers.

Trajal Harrell (US)

Judson Church is Ringing in Harlem (Made-to-Measure) / Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (M2M)

“What would have happened if someone from Judson Dance Theater had gone uptown to perform in the voguing ballroom scene?” This question triggers Trajal Harrell’s performance Made-to-Measure. Combining two contrasting styles, Harrell engages the formalism and minimalism of postmodernism with the flamboyancy of voguing.

“Dressed in filmy black, togalike shifts designed by Complexgeometries, Mr. Harrell, Thibault Lac and Ondrej Vidlar occupy three seats in the church sanctuary. They sit upright at first, barely moving, repeating snippets of song lyrics — “Don’t stop the dancing” — and other phrases over a recorded soundscore like high priests (or priestesses) involved in a deadly serious ritual. There is something both severe and innocent about it all; you can almost imagine a trio of Judsonite performers as artsy wallflowers, holding the line for their avant-garde principles … as ravishingly costumed voguers swirl around them. But, of course, the Judson folks liked to party, too. And one of Mr. Harrell’s propositions is that Judson and voguing shared many of the same values, as fellow politically minded experimentalists pushing identity and the performance of identity into new territory. And both groups delighted in the possibilities of movement — the many everyday, marvelous things that the body can do.” (The New York Times,  Claudia La Rocco)

David Michalek (US)

Slow Dancing

Video installation
Larger than life, impossibly slow: that is how artist David Michalek chooses to present brief motional sequences executed by four dozen outstanding dancers and choreographers. Shot with a high-resolution slow-motion camera originally designed for military ballistic research, the film series “Slow Dancing” lends the dancing bodies a fascinating sculptural quality; in their combination of virtuosity and vulnerability they might be 3-D projectiles. Capturing on film the grace, beauty and strength of the moving body, Michalek conveys a bandwidth encompassing ballet to belly dance, butoh to breakdance. “Slow Dancing” was already shown to the public on London’s Trafalgar Square and outside the Lincoln Center in New York. The monumental portraits will screen at Gendarmenmarkt, one of Berlin’s most imposing squares, during the entire festival period.
