Motions of Revolution
Even the greatest revolution begins with the smallest shifts. Even a gesture can inspire us to strive for freedom. MOTIONS OF REVOLUTION is about the rights to one’s own body. Based on the numerous ongoing demonstrations against the repressive and conservative governmental course of some European countries, first and foremost the abortion law in Poland, the new choreography by Polish-born Maria Zimpel focuses on the body as a political site. In the tension between glitch and continuity in the music by jazz minimalist Wacław Zimpel and the video by Australian radical choreographer Rosalind Crisp, the dancing body is dissected in its concentrated states.
