tanz nrw: Emanuele Soavi incompany - CHORUS aus THE DAY I BECAME A CLOUD

In the organizer's words:

With this parcours format, originally developed for the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris and now exclusively adapted for the Domforum, Emanuele Soavi, together with his many-member dance ensemble and sound artist Johannes Malfatti, goes in search of interfaces between visibility and dissolution, between presence and absence, past and future. A space of experience without barriers opens up for the audience on the Domplatte and in the Domforum, which is dedicated to survival and remaining visible - as artists and as people, even beyond their own boundaries - and allows them to experience contemporary dance up close.

ENSEMBLE

The work of the Cologne-based Emanuele Soavi incompany focuses on questioning the relationship between music and dance, body and world, as well as the further development of a specialized body language. In various formats, it builds bridges between experiment and large-scale project, research and practice, heritage and the present. Not least in places far removed from dance, such as museums, churches, hotels, clubs and educational institutions, border crossings are created between artistic genres through to literature and the visual arts.
