HYPERBOLE EXTENDED
2022 silent green
2023 Bundeskunsthalle Bonn
Hyperbole Extended - a synergy between dancers, sound and audience: a multi-layered live performance that reveals the poetry of dance as well as the expressivity and strength of dancers, highlighting their dual roles as artists and athletes.
Choreographic sculptures and an immersive soundscape fill the space, enveloping the audience in a sensory experience that prioritizes visual and auditory stimulation. The performance follows a poetic logic, where dance becomes a genre-defying, individual narrative that elevates the viewer to an emotional plane equal to that of the artists. The mise en scene draws on the concentrated energy and underestimated power that emanates from movement. Music guides the bodies, creates sonic worlds. Vast basses can
be felt vibrating through the floor, in synchronization with the dancers.
Moving, sweating, ecstatic bodies which at the same time appear vulnerable, fill the space with their presence - A state of physical, positive exhaustion. In the here and now the hyperbole-I of the dancers test the limits in a world that allows the imaginary breakout from the existing norms.
