War (ein Kriegstanz)
Amanda Piña (Mexico / Chile / Austria) & Daniel Zimmermann (Switzerland / Austria)
Hoko, the ancestral war dance of the Rapa Nui is the choreographic starting material for WAR. Like other Polynesian dances, which are both identity forming and survival strategies, it was reconstructed to be performed for tourists on Easter island nowadays. WAR explains the customary break within art (contemporary versus folkloric) as a consequence of our colonial relations. Choreographer Amanda Piña and visual artist/filmmaker Daniel Zimmermann transform this original repertoire into a danced manifesto against the advancing uniformization of art. In this perspective, war becomes a tool to sell all sorts of things. A surprising and powerful patchwork of styles against a background of text projections.
