Bodies and sounds
2020, Kunstmuseum Thun Switzerland
„Colour – movement – soul – body – sound – contrast – space – rhythm – man – form“
The performance deals with the current exhibition of Johannes Itten. The artist’s early works and depictions of nature inspire the choreographic and musical work of the performers as a whole. The performance is in the exhibition and the exhibition is in the performance. Sounds fill the space, forms and bodies reveal themselves and take a common path. The bodies of the dancers, existing as contrasts in space, in exchange with each other, quiet and tender, powerful and playful, become perceptible as mechanical, emotional and sensual instruments. Precise gestures roam the air, soft sounds transform into abstract pulsating soundscapes. Johannes Itten has thought a lot about contrasts and explored them in countless ways. Contrasts in life, in the art form, in man – being and nature are inevitable. If their conditions are right, we take a quality of harmony. The contrast creates tension and harmony at the same time.Itten’s quote: A colour is never individual, but always in relation to its environment, can also be transferred to the individual person, a form or a movement. The audience is taken on a journey and invited to connect the impressions of the performance with the pictures of the exhibition through their own inner perception.
