9.11 / 19:30 / Derida Stage

Performer: Bratan Bratanov
Sound Environment: Mario Balabanov

Movement is sound, and sound is movement. Dance is music, and music is dance. To hear and follow them, we remain silent and connected.
The performance consists of alternating improvisational tasks and choreographic phrases, based on Butoh choreographic systems and hip-hop foundational movements and variations. The focus is on extracting the inherent sound and using it as a primary and enhancing choreographic element. Elements based on the energy of speech, such as the movement of breath, are also incorporated to enrich the atmosphere of the composition.
