Nothing
NOTHING HAPPENS AND WE REPORT IT
The starting point for artistic exploration was the question: is “nothing” in art possible at all? And if not, why do we often say on leaving the theatre: it was basically about nothing, or: nothing really happened here? And what if one tried with all his might to do “nothing”, to produce no meanings? Won’t it, by any chance, turn out that Leibniz was right in assuming that in the universe (spectacle?) there is always something rather than nothing?
The piece is intended to become a poetical manifesto and perverse apotheosis of dance itself and the power of man’s body as a medium. For no matter how hard we would like to suppress it, it will always tell stories from which, no matter how hard we try, we cannot escape…
”… a bright and artistically mature observation – far from an easy provocation”.
