ZERO

dance
performance
08—12.05.2010

The starting point of ZERO is the body as tabula rasa: a body with no memory, no past, no future, which performs each movement as if for the first time; a tool with neither purpose nor function. ZERO presents itself as a sequence of confusing and fragmented scenes against an ambiguous background of recognizable sounds, some pre-recorded, some live. What you hear is not always what you see. Nor do the bodies react as expected. ZERO explores the relation between memory and the body, its bearings and reflexes, with remarkable physical intelligence.
