For this performance, choreographer and dancer Melanie Maar invited composers, vocalist Shelley Hirsch and musician Kenta Nagai, to further explore performance in terms of situational choreography and composition.
Maar has been working with several musicians and dancers over the last years, creating performances in which theatrical aesthetic and improvisation feed each other. The emphasis lies on equal attention to the specific visual, structural, sonic, and kinetic elements coming together anew in each performance experience. Maar is proposing dance and music as a symbiotic and empathetic performance practice, where body is an instrument and instrument is a body.
