This performance came out of a student project in 2016 recreating the piece of Cocoon Dance Company MOMENTUM. After finishing my studies I performed again as part of the original cast with other students.
MOMENTUM makes a connection between the dancers and the audience through the palpable feeling of movement in a shared space. The dancers and the audience alike absorb the evolving kinetic energy just like the exhaustion, which become the driving elements of the performance.
Only the rhythm and speed unite the movements in a structural dimension. The pure physical, sweat-inducing choreography and the fusion of light and sound are generating a hypnotic energy.
