Luna Park

A dance and theatre co-production

Shifting from the trivial to the enigmatic. On the discovery of the banality in cities

“Luna Park” is the metaphor for the sheer quantity of images and impressions to which people are exposed in metropolises; a “crazy” world, an amusement park of the superficial, the loss of the needed leisureliness. The human drifts through and surrenders to the flood of images. The co-production partners BIS (Body Process Arts Association – Istanbul) and artscenico performing arts (Dortmund) in cooperation with Anna Konjetzky (Munich) create the theme “City life – stress and contemplation, tradition and modernity.”

Abdrücke

First Part of the double Abdrücke/Abdrücke folgen

Abdrücke and Abdrücke folgen are two dance installations for one dancer. Two images that are like the same image’s positive and negative. In focus: a dancer looking for traces of her own being – which are constantly blurred. The body is the mooring rope to the self; a matter that can be measured, drawn, touched, described and displayed. And observed: the audience’s voyeuristic point of view in Abdrücke turns in Abdrücke folgen rather to dancer’s inside. In Abdrücke exists only the self. The “I” in hundredfold reflections, always reflected back on itself. Without hope of self-reassurance in the view of the other. Only the room exists – geometrical, hard, cold and bright, covered with mirrors and without any possibility to look outside. In this room the dancer tries to find, scrutinize and define herself. She turns, twists, as if every inch of her body should be cataloged. She documents her outlines on many slips of paper; these are portraits that she throws outside through narrow slits. Every piece of paper isan anchor of her existence. The spectators, however, are granted an unobstructed view, not only into the box because it is lit from the side of the spectators and thus transparent, but also because of a camera that projects images from the inside onto a wall. And while the breath of the dancer is fogging up the box and obfuscating the view, the camera’s larger-than-life image stays on.

Abdrücke is part of the double Abdrücke/Abdrücke folgen, as well as an independent work.

dann still (then silent)

a music theatre piece by Anna Konjetzky

The music theatre piece “dann still” was inspired by the novel “The Sister” by Malgorzata Saramonowicz. Three voices that are initially diffuse unfurl the history of the “sister”: of a pregnant woman in a coma, of a brother, of a husband – relationships shaped by violence, fear, ignorance and oblivion. The permeability of the body, of the skin – to render the body silent – the lost, forgotten body – the oscillation of the body, live and in video sequences. Separating transparent and reflecting stage constructions. Worlds of music like different layers of awareness – sound movements – sounds of sirens, archaic rhythms, electronic sound fragments, soft noises, silence.

Die Summe der Öffnungen (“The sum of openings”)

Die Summe der Öffnungen (“The sum of openings”)

World premiere January 10, 2010, Muffathalle Munich

Die Summe der Öffnungen (“The sum of openings”)

a dance piece by Anna Konjetzky

In Anna Konjetzky’s “Die Summe der Öffnungen,” five dancers move about the top of an almost four meter high stage construction that drops down on two sides. A “mountain” with stairs and steps, corners and edges, with niches, platforms and holes. A space architecture that forms, forces and challenges the movements of the dancers; and thus it becomes part of the choreography. A choreography that resembles the dance of Sisyphus: you cannot escape from the “mountain,” as stairs are leading into the nowhere or back to the top; bodies are swallowed up, fragmented and yet manage to return to the surface and start over.

“I drew inspiration for this work through my fascination that people again and again manage to create living space anywhere. How a living space is created under the strangest, most absurd and horrific conditions, and in such places. How the body conquers centimeter after centimeter, fights for the right for space. This dance piece may not be completely unlike life on a garbage heap.”
(A. Konjetzky)
