"LISTEN" is screening in Sunday Oct 13, 2024, 7:00 pm Program
Description:
A vertical dance piece about the end of a relationship and the complexity of emotions involved in a breakup. Vertical dance is used as a metaphoric aesthetic where the dancer's relationship with gravity generates tension as they navigate the difficulties of dealing with change, the conflict between, the fear of falling and the desire to fly. The poetry of suspended intimacy and physicality is born, expressing the balance between closeness and isolation, the emptiness of the end and the struggle for acceptance. Negotiating this poetic reality, we return to being with the other in their absence through the ghosts of the past and the inability to listen. Listen is a vertical dance performance that explores the sense of vulnerability while negotiating with reality.
The performance is a conversation between two artists that are separated by a literal ocean, Magalie Lanriot in Europe and Roel Seeber in The United States of America. Connected by a shared fascination with and a love of dancing in vertical spaces, Magalie and Roel influence each other, blending their distinct artistic approaches, diverse backgrounds, and experiences. This cross-continental collaboration holds the potential of an evolution of vertical dance as a discipline, fostering a rich exchange that provides fresh perspective and the potential to create a new paradigm for the field of Vertical Dance.
Their work is a merging of these realities, both poetic and global. Only through deep listening can they bridge the gap of language and culture. Through improvisation and a dialogue in the moment, their new language highlights emotions through a desire to understand. This new approach explores the present moment, the fragility of relations and all that is unexpected, while offering an artistic image and metaphor for human existence.
