"AT THE CROSSROADS OF BOTH WORLDS, THE INSTINCTVE AND SPONTANEOUS ELEMENTS OF LIVE PERFORMANCE BLEND WITH THE POSSIBILITIES AFFORDED BY THE 7TH ART."
How? By bringing a director/cameraman and live dancers together on stage. This gives the audience a permanent double reading of the piece by offering them the opportunity to watch, simultaneously, both a live performance happening on stage and the filmed version happening on screen.
One of the aims of this undertaking, amongst others, is to play with the audience’s perspectives, by switching their perception between what is taking place on stage and the images appearing on screens that broadcast the same live action but from different angles.
Seeing is interactive, personal and –supposedly – unfalsifiable! The problem is that the way in which a cameraman frames a scene may prove to be as restricted as a press article vetted by the Stasi censorship office in the former GDR.
