GLITCH WITCH

Choreographer Meg Stuart and Dance On Ensemble dancer Omagbitse Omagbemi create a trio with composer and musician Mieko Suzuki in the framework of the Dance On series ‘Encounters’, where choreographers become visible on stage in a meeting with a member of the ensemble. This new work touches on fundamental questions: how do we share a creative process? What is the balance between a choreographic desire and freedom of interpretation? How can we transgress and reinvent our roles?

Meg Stuart has always considered her own body as a site, a testing ground. By dancing in her own pieces, she intuitively deconstructs the choreographic principles that she tries to articulate. Omagbitse brings another perspective to this search. Beneath the raw physicality that characterizes Stuart’s style, she recognizes first and foremost a quiet care and attention to detail. Playing with these seemingly opposing traits, the three collaborators look for a common ground and a shared language. Cumulating, morphing, becoming, they move towards a group portrait that remains just out of reach.

• With live music.
• Presented by STUK.
