From a chaotic crescendo to a slow reduction to a burning core, choreographers Emio Greco Pieter C. Scholten and composer Franck Krawczyk probe the depths of human existence. During this journey, passion is a drifting force in search of more desire, offering hope, hallucination, erotic taboo, and brutality, leaving the body exhausted but open to new utopias.
How can we make our humanity more human? What do we do with our growing impulses? Which paths should we take in this era? Together, they form the heart of a broad spectrum of dynamic energies.
They represent that untamed force within each of us that emerges in those moments where our existence is challenged. The three renowned musicians — cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton , pianist Wilhem Latchoumia , and clarinetist Carjez Gerretsen — amplify the emotional and physical charge and create an intriguing dissonance with the dance.
Comprising singers of different generations, these amateur choirs represent unrestrained humanity. Their expressions range from emotional exclamations to screams and howls, as well as verismo opera singing and arrangements of pop songs, including specially adapted versions of the Dadaist Sonata Erotica and the Lettrist Poems by avant-garde performance artist Isidore Isou, sounding like instinctive incantations.
It is in this unexpected and unexplored energy that all forces concentrate into one point. This core is a collective gesture where the sharing of roles between creators—performers, artists—technicians, spectators—actors, music and dance, sounds and lights, art and science, is synchronized to form a new dynamic.
