4 : Still Life
Theater Malpertuis (Belgium / Finland) & Nicole Beutler (Belgium / Netherlands / Germany)
In 4: STILL LIFE choreographer Nicole Beutler distils elements from the long history of partner dance. Onstage are a woman and a man. Their physicality and actions are guided by the principles of body geometry, and the geometry of space and light. All the elements of the piece are interdependent and composed musically in space and time; leading or following, merging or interfering, distant or intimate. 4: STILL LIFE is a court dance, a mating dance, a play, a ‘Lichtspiel’, a ritual. Beutler drew inspiration from the early twentieth-century Bauhaus movement for this ‘mechanical ballet’ dance duet. She worked in close collaboration with the dancers, and with light and space designer MINNA TIIKKAINEN and composer GARY SHEPHERD, both of whose artistic visions have had a strong influence on Nicole Beutler’s work for many years.
