Soulty (2019)
Choreographer: Bosmat Nossan
In 'Soulty' the face becomes a mask, the voice turns into sound and body movements are decorative shapes. The performers do not express themselves through movement, they separate their selfs from it. They disconnect from facial expressions, movement and voice which usually act as mediators for inner feelings. The voice, the face and the shape of movement do not seek authenticity or manifestation of the individual but emerge out of the body as sculptural elements, costumes through which new figures are composed. Thus, they act as a medium that suddenly channels the voice of a spirit, a spirit that is not confined to an individual but is connected to the zeitgeist.
The sound is built in a surround style and contains 9 outputs.
