Dust + songunsung

P.A.R.T.S. Graduation Festival MA STUDIOS

dance
28—29.05.2024

Double bill

Performance 1

Judith Dhondt & Urtė Groblytė
Dust

Something approaches me… I become not myself but Huh mixed with somebody.
Who is it? Is it Hmm? Huh mixed with Hmm. Huhhmm.
From the moment my eyeballs move towards this other- I am … I am … who am I?
(based on a fragment from The Waves by Virginia Woolf)

Hmm & Huh transform into one and fall apart multiples -
desiring their own form that splits and merges.
With an open mouth they are waiting for words, to catch them -
language pushes them together and pulls them apart.

Dust wants to dive deeper into ideas of symbiosis from a non-harmonic point of view, approaching the self as an erotic body intimately containing multiple beings.

A collaboration between Urtė Groblytė & Judith Dhondt that branches into two performances (Dust and A Lovely Construction Site) and is bound together by a shared reading and writing practice. Together they have created a soil to let their performative works bloom out off.

 

Performance 2

Mira Maria Studer
songunsung

- echolocation, the bat - te amo te amo, she said to me - ableton live 11 - 2010 heartbreak - the birth of opera - imploded home studio - 1608 (Italy) - Ach ich fühl’s - echolocation, the nymph -

Wading through the sound waves of laments (aka love songs) stemming out of mouths from 1608 to 2024 – a voice before meaning broadcasts them into the theatre space. They seem oh so familiar. They touch you but also feel distant. Like the foreign tongue of a loved one. The mouth estranges them, warps their time, body and space together. It is a process of dislocating the laments that have been put into our hands.
