Is Hemo Rage Black A Steroid?

Cryptic associations

For the MS-dance works project "Mental Maps & Patterns," the studio theater in the Cultural Palace offered almost ideal space. The bright floor, white, black, thanks ornamental flags emblems resembling trailer, a projection screen in the background define an open cube. The prologue shows the birth of a maiden and her guise as a fifth team - black pants, white blouses pludrige in shirts cut with sewn-on black ties. A Initialisierungsritual, for exercises in formation, thinking and structures according to the same company between then, now and at some point. During embossing mutate thinking in verbal projection of real geography of memory, Instincts and subconscious to literature, morality, faith / belief to schießlich to dock at the concept of home stays, abstract movement necessary. Restrained dynamics, smoothness have something irresistible. From elementary forms of movement, ascending from the bottom, figures / parts interact, are interdependent in the sense of a physical-biological-structural minimalism, relationship and not value-free, fascinating in a disturbing way. Mario Heinemann's choreography seduced with disciplined imagination. Perfectly suited to be mystical and modern sounds and large-scale video projections. Deeply moving clouds sky pseudobjektiverende, top view-doubled dancers, ornaments, in the end a fantastically colorful flowering meadow testify abysmal, atmospheric associations. Inserted Dog Dancing scenes (striking dressage: Nicole Gaertner) provide their own key comment. The intellectually clear analysis of natural and social-related bonds is broken ironic and ambiguous, where it threatens to tilt toward delusion and psychosis, the ensemble gets into collective ecstasy formed, to memorial groups. But the structures are too fragile, the subject too deep to get to the bottom. Ultimately, the purpose of opening up that provokes reflection rather than prescriptive forethinking is. The concept of home remains standing, ultimately (also) for human searches between dictatorship and chaos.
