Isabelle Schad & Laurent Goldring: The Burrow
Dance
-
Theatre Project, Baltimore
- Price $22/$17/$12
The intoxicating dance work The Burrow, created by Berlin-based choreographer Isabelle Schad and French artist Laurent Goldring, is inspired by Franz Kafka’s unfinished novella of the same title. With a mix of lush, ferocious, and sometimes spare movement, performed nude, Schad uses an animal’s burrow as a metaphor for the human body.
Kafka’s labyrinth — described as a space derived from the body, and yet still belonging to it — is suggested by a large and commanding sheet of fabric, which is beautifully manipulated to dramatically alter the visual and physical relationship between body and space.
Der Bau (The Burrow) is the latest in a series of influential visual art collaborations by Schad, a former dancer with the internationally acclaimed company Ultima Vez (Wim Vandekeybus), as well as noted dance innovators Olga Mesa, Felix Ruckert and Eszter Salamon.
Schad has co-initiated numerous projects/groups that searched for connections between various fields of research and practice and in which the production methods are also questioned by the participants. She teaches throughout the world and in various formats, and is the co-director of a project space in the Wiesenburg in Berlin.
A hypnotic flow of perpetually overlapping images and rhythmic variations… allows ever-new choreographic landscapes to emerge.
