A MARY WIGMAN DANCE EVENING

Concept and dance by Fabian Barba / Busy Rocks.

A Mary Wigman Dance Evening is the staging of a dance recital as it could have taken place in the early 30’s. Its model is the program Wigman presented for her first tour through the United States, composed of nine solos from different dance cycles. Acknowledging the alterations a reconstruction work entails, the interest lies not on mourning a lost original or a gone past, but on turning the unavoidable modifications into the very expressive matter of the work. At the end, it will be up to every member of the audience to define their relation with this modern universe, a relation that will ultimately depend on the personal history of each spectator.
