Hunter
A Meg Stuart solo performance? Can’t wait! After numerous successful group productions the choreographer now puts herself and her body into the spotlight. «How can I digest the many influences and traces that shaped me as a person and artist? How can my body unfold quantum genealogies and unrealized histories?»
In «Hunter» she explores her own body as an archive populated with personal and cultural memories, ancestors and artistic heroes, fantasies and invisible forces. Discovering traces in the land of small things that linger around her body, and translating them into a series of self-portraits. Experiences are cut up and spliced together on the editing table to reveal potential connections and forms, such as a cartoonesque body, a shamanist chanting ritual, or a noisy sound sculpture. Stretched onto different surfaces and ricocheting across media, interior states refract and resonate in a shared world.
This performance – a mixture of dance, theatre, installation, visual art and video projection – is masterfully crafted and offers a glimpse into the cosmos of Meg Stuart, it is utterly fascinating to watch her dance on the edge of the abyss.
