Δύο performers, ο Ανμάρ Τάχα από το Ιράκ και ο Γιαν Ρόντβικ από τη Σουηδία, μέσα από την παράστασή τους Gerontion θέτουν ερωτήματα σχετικά με τη θυσία και την ταπείνωση, προτείνοντας στο κοινό τους μια διαφορετική ερμηνεία της Ηθικής.
Χορογραφία: Anmar Taha
Ερμηνευτές: Jan Rådvik και Anmar Taha
Παραγωγη: Iraqi Bodies
Συμμετοχή: Akropoditi Dancetheatre/Χοροθέατρο Ακροποδητί
An appalling-looking man enters and looks at himself in a mirror.
“Why do you look at yourself in the glass, since the
sight of your reflection can only be painful to you?”
The appalling-looking man replies: “Sir, according to
the immortal principles of ’89, all men are equal before
the law; therefore I have the right to look at myself in the
glass; with pleasure or pain, that is an entirely personal matter.”
In respect to common sense, I was certainly right;
but from the point of view of the law, he was not wrong.
Gerontion poses questions regarding sacrifice and humiliation, confronting its audience with a proposal of different moral judgments. The boundary determining just from unjust has through a subtle reduction of time proposed a composition of terror – but also beauty.
During 2013 Iraqi Bodies have continued their work on the themes surrounding the rituals and ceremonies of sexuality, death and reproduction within the religious groups of Muslims, Christians and Jews.
In exploring and investigating the connections between dance and physical theater, Iraqi Bodies has gained unanimous critical acclaim over the last couple of years. With affecting performances such as “Unidentified” and “Vowels” the group has managed to carve a unique niche for themselves in the field of contemporary dance. It’s a world where sparse lighting, silence and near immobility is paired with seemingly erratic yet repetitive movements, at times creating an atmosphere of discomfort and unease but also one of tremendous beauty. Using almost archaic movements and textures, the aim is to articulate feelings of loss, frustration and isolation but perhaps to also show a tiny sliver of light and hope.
