  2. C L U S T E R S : 7—EVEN SILENCE HAS A SHAPE

    Sept 29th – Oct 3rd, 2010

    B R O O K L Y N
    Center For Performance Research
    361, Manhattan Avenue

    Presented in association with the Center for Performance Research, “CLUSTER 7–Even Silence has a Shape” is an experimental project curated by Jeanne-Salomé Rochat and Alusia Slowinski and is made up of punctual situations that will emit a declension of signs, during five consecutive days in New York City, at Center for Performance Research, NP Contemporary Art Center and Silvershed.

    Those signs, visual, verbal and spatial, are gravitationally bound to a core problem of perceiving, interpretating and translating languages, especially when produced under different contextual circumstances such as history, discipline or social factors: How is it possible to translate, to stress reception of a work, especially when the embedded specificity of a community is itself undergoing constant transformation? In such cases, what can be properly «realized»?

    Punctually, circumcised interventions will invest the spaces, inscribing, exhibiting, performing or commenting sections of works that most of the time happened, are happening or will happen elsewhere.

    To what extent can we engage the audience today? How translatable, potentially transcendable, and memorable are the boundaries of the statements that are actually exhibited?

    a proposition by Jeanne-Salomé Rochat
    performed by Fabian Barba, Franziska Aigner, Tuur Marinus, Gabriel Schenker and Marisa Cabal.

    As soon as the given constellation of bodies on stage gets off-balance, this very opening motion continues passing on throughout the entire length of the performance. One body propels the next, impulse after impulse, accident after accident. The Way Things Wait pictures both a relentless catastrophe and a complexly designed machinery in which the forces of nature are compelled to do the work.

    The piece exploits the productivity of self-imposed constraints, triggering the fabrication of surprising connections and new combinations. Choreography turns into step-by-step problem solving, when each constellation of bodies conditions the possibilities for the next movement.
