What is the starting point of this project?
The project explores artificial bodies in a dystopian world where they no longer truly feel. In a society where anxiety is experienced collectively, individuals become permeable, unstable and subject to forces beyond their control.
What is its specific feature?
The performers, equipped with walkie-talkies, transform their movements into an unstable soundscape of noise and interference. On the fringes of dance, movement gives rise to dysfunction. Navigating between the absurd and the unsettling, the choreography plays on mishaps, dissonance and the unpredictable.
Why participate in the Danse élargie competition?
Danse élargie is a relevant platform for presenting our work. Within the competition, the project finds a suitable space to explore a unique hybrid form that combines dance, visual arts and sound.
Sarah Baltzinger and Isaiah Wilson co-direct their projects since 2022, between Luxembourg and the Grand Est region. Their work, which blends dance, sound and performance, explores transformed and fragmented bodies at the intersection of the absurd, the strange and the visual.
