In the performance series MONUMENT, Eszter Salamon creates a world with its own logic. The new work, created with Carte Blanche and entitled The Living Monument, explores the monument as an emancipatory space resisting oblivion and exclusion.
In the manner of an installation, the visual environment develops into a living monument of voices, movements, figures and textile materials. The gradual transformation between colours, sounds and costumes creates the dynamic contemporary dance approach of The Living Monument.
Press talks about it
”The slow, microscopic movements of the choreography are inextricably linked to the costumes. […] This creates its own rhythm and logic, with dreamlike atmospheres in which something familiar and concrete is abstracted and displaced.”
Judith Dybendal, Scenekunst
In the repertoire
But Then, We’ll Disappear (I’d Prefer Not To)
Canadian Frédérick Gravel is known for turning the structures of choreography upside down and often including elements of rock and performance art in his expression. A part of the Montreal artistic community, he has emerged as one of the leading exponents of new Canadian dance.
BIRGET; Ways to deal, Ways to heal
Based on the Sámi expression "Birget", which means "to face and survive in a changing environment", the play explores the way in which the State deals with its own colonial heritage, both pedagogically and critically. Sara et Nango
