Schwarze Katze

Dance / Performance, for ages 14 and up, 2008  50´ 
11 on tour

Two break dancers, two Folkwang dancers and the European flatland BMX racing champion meet in this choreography by Malou Airaudo, longtime solo dancer in Pina Bausch’s ensemble. This crossover production is built completely upon the personalities of the performers; it creates imagery oscillating between silent poetics and nearly undamped dynamics. This energetic and smooth arc ireceives accompaniment by a rousing musical mix ranging from chanson to metal. This play is pure, reduced to dance and the personalities of the dancers. Perfectly well-rehearsed, new images come to the fore, an original repertoire of movement evolves.

“Those six artists bring a total work of art onto the stage, each one putting in his or her very own talent.”
Daniel vom Bruch, Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung

Choreography: Malou Airaudo

A Renegade production in cooperation with Melez08.
