Dance - Eszter Petrány

Human. Woman. Artist. Dancer…

The layers of this onion are infinite. The titles and their priorities are often transforming.

One thing is certain, the quality of being a dancer, a performer, a creating person is mine and this quality is truly a beloved one.

Full title: @solo.tänze. Clemens Gadenstätter + Rose Breuss Production Wien Modern Composition: Clemens Gadenstätter
Choreography: Rose Breuss Words are the last things needed here. Perhaps you should read this text with your eyes shut. The music of Clemens Gadenstätter is »understood« best by »listening to it, outside of the conceptual«. Or to put it in a nutshell: by »grasping« it. A violin, a bow, hands, body, touch, movement. A wind instrument, lips, oral cavity, muscle tension, articulation, lines, nuances of taste, bitter, sour, spicy. An accordion, arms, sensations, a personality, An electric guitar, effects equipment on the floor, a polyphony of four limbs, choreography,composition,combination of the possibility of the senses, ear, eye, perception of the body, touch, taste. Five portraits, self-portraits, studies for solo instruments, for special musicians, dancers, an anthropology of words. »I see these pieces as attempts to come close to an ‹anthropology as perception of sound› – an idea that is central to my composition in recent years.« (Clemens Gadenstätter)

Bauhaus Tanzt is an experimental reflection on the Triadic ballet created in 1922. In our approach we relate to the method that Oscar Schlemmer suggested himself: a practical study of artist’s theory towards the historical context on stage. Most of the Schlemmer’s performative works are based on very simple and classical steps and techniques. What challenges aesthetics is the context in which the dance is being presented. We neglect the traditional approach to Schlemmer’s work that presents a dancer as a tool for bringing a costume alive and we believe that the body is a central medium in artist’s work.

Reflecting on the political tendencies of the past 10 years, ’Time’s up!’ shows the pressure and regression that shadows several countries and cultures. One always has to know what gives safe, comfort and freedom, the definition of Home has to be clarified and found in every individuum and every now and then we have to stop and go back to the roots in order to breathe. In order to think. In order to close out all the brainwashing sentences. In this piece, a small balcony serves as my Garden Eden, a place where it is allowed to sing in my own language, without prejudices. And what is all the rest? First it is a manipulation, then a fight and finally a revolution. Donald Trump’s tragicomic sentences give a perfectly plastic, transparent surface, either literally or methaphorically. We all need a sense of humour to understand our tragedies, and these tragedies follow a very similar sample. Whether you come from a poor village of Hungary or from a wealthy city of Austria, whether your president is Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un. Breathe, think and act. And if you need to close out all the noise for a moment in order to do that, find your own Garden Eden first. Everyone deserves that.

Choreography: Rose Breuss Dancers: Boglárka Heim, Eszter Petrány, Maria Shurkhal Intricate trajectories addresses the subjective matter of the late nineteenth century inventions of hysteria through a diverse physical interpretation. The core sources of the research are the records of Iconographie photographique de la Salpetriere read through a prism of Aby Warburg’s iconology method. The dancers embody the “life” of images and translate visual expressions into choreographic ones. The piece is a study of the subtile space between the rational and irrational forces of the psyche.
