Voicing Pieces
Premiere
by
Begüm Erciyas, Matthias Meppelink
In the frame of 9. Tanznacht Berlin 2016
One’s own voice becomes a place for action, a spectacle, a surprise and the choreography’s protagonist. In a mini stage space, the spectator enters into a private world and becomes the performer in his own performance. The act of speaking and simultaneously hearing your own voice turns into a theatrical and choreographic experience, sculpted anew with each individual interpretation of the score.
