Void - Helge Letonja

Rien ne va plus. Where do we go? How? With whom? Where there is nothing,
there can be anything. Into this vacuum, "void" introduces fantasies of physical encounters
with the nothingness. With their bodies and voices, one female and four male dancers sketch
outlines into the white of the open moment. Between inflation and deflation tragedy meets
comedy, pausing turns into hyperactivity, choreographic constellations arise and vanish.
Together with the vocal artist Christian Wolz and the drama advisor Marion Amschwand, the
choreographer Helge Letonja creates a sensory world of dance and azione musicale in the
composition of which Wolz exclusively utilizes the human voice. Breath and vibrations
become sound, moods turn into movements - creating links to the strange liberty of absolute
presence.

Following the dance productions "Shaum" (2007) and "Darkland" (2008), Letonjas "void"
concludes his choreographic trilogy on the subject of beauty. The piece was produced as
an international co-production and was partly developed in the context of a several week
long residency of the ensemble at the Circuit-Est Choreographic Center in Montreal, supported
by the Goethe-Institut Montreal.
