A dance production by Meg Stuart/ Damaged Goods

Nelum Pokuna Theatre

Five dancers reveal simultaneously and singularly an energetic landscape, a charged terrain of options. VIOLET is a steep descent into a maelstrom, a swirl of energetic patterns and kinetic sculptures full of detail, partnered live on stage by musician Brendan Dougherty on electronics and percussion. In this 2011 creation, Meg Stuart turns to movement as its primary motor, pairing choreography with an alchemy of the senses. Perhaps the most abstract piece so far in her long-standing career, VIOLET bears Stuart’s unique signature, an art that hones a frail ‘condition humaine’ in its intense physical emergence.
 
Meg Stuart is an American dancer and choreographer, living and working in Berlin and Brussels. With her company Damaged Goods she created over 30 stage works and multidisciplinary projects, an oeuvre that was honoured in 2018 by La Biennale di Venezia with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement.
