Somatic Script

Somatic Script

A choreography for five performers

Five performers aged between 25 and 55 re-construct personal somatic memories of their own movement development and give them a clear spatial orientation. Contact and touch lead to a choreographic context that is motivated by essential physical impulses such as fear reactions, moments of falling, of being lifted, carried and embraced, moments of wanting to fly and to hide, to be alone … These components define a script of non-verbal dramatic and comic constellations amongst performers that start with simple actions but give space to unexpected and complex interpretations for the audience.
