METTE INGVARTSEN (DK/BE)
GIANT CITY

Masters of creating atmosphere. ballet-tanz 11/09

What is it? A body in a world of permanent motion, change, and transformation? A body that fleets through giant cities, that is itself comprised of incessant currents of information, people, air, money, and yearning?

In ›GIANT CITY‹, Mette Ingvartsen – together with her dancers – embarks on a quest for possible ways to endure, to integrate, and to express the countless changes that are pervading their bodies. Without knowing where they will end up, this fictional collective sets out to explore how movement influences their bodies and how spaces take on a flavour of the physically tangible. With a playful approach, Mette Ingvartsen thus puts our conceptions of choreography and dance to the test.
