Vacuum
Choreography by Hannah Schillinger
Performed at Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch, Berlin
June 28, 29 and 30th 2021
In Vacuum , Hannah Schillinger and her team are looking for ways to explore principles from quantum physics in dance and choreography.
The two dancers Daniel Conant and Georgia Bettens dive into the innermost part of their bodies until they reach the subatomic level and there, enter the imagination of an empty and yet never empty space full of fluctuating particles. A playful landscape full of potentials, superpositions and seething states unfolds, constantly changing and yet always constant. A dancing expedition through the abundance of emptiness.
Vacuum asks what a body knows, how we can expand our perception through imagination and what role active observation and listening play in this.
Ben Glas plays in Vacuum with relativistic sinus tones that can be perceived differently depending on their position in the room. Periklis Lazarou creates the light. Kate Chen created the set.
