Description
The concept of the Asasello Quartett and the choreographer Stephanie Thiersch on artistic transdisciplinarity with young Hungarian composers and dancers is convincing in terms of cultural exchange and interest in the future of Eastern Europe and promises to develop groundbreaking artistic innovations. Even if music in Europe first forbade dancing and much later modern dance could do without music, the history of dance and music is inextricably linked. And when contemporary dancers meet experimental, classically trained musicians today, a lot is possible - without all questions being clarified.
With the Austrian company BODHI PROJECT Dance Company and the internationally touring Asasello Quartett, the choreographer Stephanie Thiersch creates sensitive and unexpected encounters and poetic encounters with the newly composed works by Judit Varga, Máté Balogh, Árpád Solti and Péter Tornyyai. Together, tonal and physical resonance spaces are explored - balancing between devotion to the other art form and the preservation of the incompatible qualities. Our sense of hearing and time are challenged with humorous seriousness and the sometimes very delicate, then impulsive, new music that undermines every cliché of dance ability.
