Materia Viva
intergenerational improvisation Event and Performance Project by Fabio Bergaglio and Thora Hohberg
It`s a fast world full of people...
We
me/you/they
We are something
a body, a mind
a mixture, of both
or both at the same time without seperation between these two words…
Where do we find grip?
A standing?
Something to hold on to?
Someone to relate with?
Some sort of „self“ that relates with something….
...With the people who are close to us, with the space and the objects that create what we call „our sourrounding“….
Materia Viva“ offers a physical, playfull approach to these questions and toppics.
It opens a space with workshops and jams for dancers, movers, parents, children, musicians and all kind of people who want to move beyond their typical social bubble
Respectively.../Beziehngsweise...
Who are we when we stand alone?
Who are "we", and what is an individual within this plural?
And how does this individual entity change when it enters into relationship with other "entities"?
Can we even consider anything, anyone, or even ourselves, without relation and standing alone?
"Respectively..."grapples with the complexities of communal connections, communication in all its colours, facets and hierarchical structures in
interpersonal interactions. It is a multi-disciplinary performance piece where the performers find themselves in a constant state of social metamorphosis, using movement/dance, music/percussion and the spoken word.
