The famous Balinese love duet by I Mario, Oleg Tamulilingan, is a key reference, as is the “waggle dance” of Asian and European honey bees (apis cerana and apis mellifera), first correctly described by German zoologist Karl von Frisch. The six dancers are accompanied by live music by Klaus Janek as well as by composer I Wayan Gede Purnama Gita’s gamelan musicians, whose digital presences float through the performance space of Uferstudios 1 on moving projection screens.
Developed in the austere confines of the Berlin winter lockdown, Bee Dances explores notions of responsibility and proximity through probing mutual pollination of movements, concepts, languages, histories, physicalities, and performers.
