CHOREOGRAFISCHE INTERVENTION IM ÖFFENTLICHEN RAUM
ART PROSPECT & TRASH–5 FESTIVAL
Zwischenräume is a participatory choreographic work by Swiss artist Ronja Römmelt in partnership with Swiss Performer Sara Koller and local performers. It is based on a choreographic process of physical and mental encounters that test the different dynamics of public urban spaces.
Barely perceptible to the eye, interpersonal space can be experienced all the more intensely in our own bodies. In this respect, the performance explores the dynamics of attraction and rejection while making our own prejudices and projections, with which we approach each other, a tangible experience. Thus, Zwischenräume raises awareness of our own individual sense of proximity and distance.
Nowadays our environment is polluted not only with waste and all kinds of chemical poisons but also with information and toxic interactions with other people. Often we are faced with invasion of our personal space whether it is a boorish comment on social networks or unsolicited advice from an acquaintance. This aggressive communication environment requires some skills of filtering consumed information and human interaction for one’s sake.
Based on a choreographic score, in each case one performer and one passer-by come together. Together they explore the physical and psychological space that arises between them: once the rules of the performance have been explained, the two participants move toward or away from each other, maintaining constant eye contact. When they are finally standing opposite each other at a distance of a cubit's length, their encounter is concluded. The performance reveals its participative processes and the artist's clearly delineated score. In this way, a continuously growing network of new, unexpected encounters and gazes develops, which allows the passers-by to pause and participate in the Choreography.
The work will take place over 5 times during the Festival weeks.
