You've changed
Group and individual, abstract and concrete, form and formless, product and process. By exploring these fields of tension in choreographic works that are as rebellious as they are sophisticated, Thomas Hauert is developing a veritable micropolitics of bodies. Three years after Accords, Hauert is back with a show that takes his quest for choreographic writing in a real-time dialogue with the body’s intelligence and intuition to new heights. In You’ve changed, everything starts from a choreography improvised like a system integrated into unforeseeable behaviour. Similar to a chain reaction, it led to the creation of a video, then music, then another piece of music, then another improvisation, then lights, all these propositions finally responding to one another on stage, unleashing a game of almost psychedelic interactions between the arts. For Hauert, as for the composer Dick van der Harst who is behind the music, increasing the levels of complexity is the least of the elegant offerings available to the audience.
‘The company ZOO of Thomas Hauert practices the most intelligent, sensitive, witty, surprising, courageous, virtuosic and political form of dance I have seen in a long time.’ – Ballet-Tanz Jahrbuch 2009
