Dominos and Butterflies

Choreography & Performance by Busy Rocks / Franziska Aigner, Fabian Barba, Marisa Cabal, Tuur Marinus and Gabriel Schenker

Premiere on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of April 2009 at Monty/Antwerp

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. Dominos and Butterflies 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.
