Echoes
PART OF DET FRIE FELTS FESTIVAL
ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE
“echoes” by Ar Utke Ács and the artistic team is a choreographic total installation that is both a set design for the dancers and an independent audio-visual installation. Participants are invited to take part in a sensory and colourful experience in which sound, light and the performative elements interact. The audience is free to follow the dancers as they perform throughout in the installation. Dancers explore emotions and moods in time-based tableaux. The work asks: How do emotions act in choreography, and how are we ourselves choreographed by emotions? – hence the title ‘echoes’. Ar Utke Ács works with collective processes, in which familiar hierarchies are challenged. The artist embraces diversity in formats as well as in the question of representation and accessibility on stage.
There will be a 15-minute artist talk onstage after the performance on January 27th.
The performance takes place without a break, but it is possible to leave the hall during the show if you need to go to the toilet etc.
