Inspiriert durch Steve Paxton und seine Untersuchungen zu Variation und Improvisation, die der Tänzer und Choreograf in den 1980er Jahren zur Musik der „Goldbergvariationen“ von Johann Sebastian Bach gezeigt hat, hat der Tänzer und Choreograf Daniel Aschwanden die musikalische und inhaltliche Klammer der Bachschen „Clavier Übung“ übernommen, um ein Jahr lang im öffentlichen Raum aufzutreten. 24 Stunden dieser Performance Aschwandens werden im Oktober 2016 zu genau definierter Zeit und am festgelegten Ort, dem internationalen Busbahnhof neben der U3-Haltestelle Erdberg, gezeigt. Aschwanden hat sich vorgenommen, nachdem ihm die Idee am Morgen bei der täglichen Körperarbeit eingeschossen ist, ein Jahr lang täglich in öffentlichen Räumen zu performen. Die performance für die 7 Jahre jubiläum von nadaLokal wird die Variation Nr. 233 von die serie „Goldberg 365“.
Das Künstlerduo entwickelt ein performatives Setting aus einem individuellen und langwierigen Kampf und in Suchbewegungen nach Lösungen aus Verhaltensmustern,um in neue Lebenswirklichkeiten zu gelangen.
A short guided meditation with projected handmade slides and improvised soundscapes ::
little monsters rest & relax in darkened corners ::
devoting themselves to the spirits of nature ::
sliding into the brightness of the moment ::
into the lightness of the presence ::
falling for the forms of colors ::
slowly detaching ::
gently releasing ::
dark & friendly ::
Videoscreening, performance.
“Something must happen” exposes a dream-like reality and shows a life based on a mode of consciousness that could be considered as entranced. In a series of different sceneries, Julia Zastava performs actions in an enchanted way. Even when on her own, she fulfills her tasks without questioning. Elements taken from computer games define the flow, a whip leads through the trip, before it gets finally burned. The effort to escape pre-constructed habits ends in a prefigured mode. The other side, another possible solution, lies in the spectator’s eye. Why does the lady keep on peeling potatoes in the sleeping room? The whip knows. She fulfills duties like in a game. Jewels will be the reward. But only abstract ones, sketches of gems, whose colors seemed to have disappeared into the sky, the waters or into the rainbow of the meditative closing scene. The fulfillment of the induced expectations lies beyond the screen, the images might give a call to reach out beyond too. The video triggers, but does not unveil. It is up to the viewer to anticipate other outcomes. (Philipp Levar)
Robert went to Mexico and Brazil to investigate the healing quality of dance, he worked with healers, dancers, and shamans, in his quest to meet the feathered serpent. Now he shares the lessons of the snake: tenderly thinking in strongly eroticised encounters. this time in a thirty minute meeting with the audience, who dares to say no to this?
