ENG PENG! das Himmelreich

ENG PENG! das Himmelreich

A guest choreography for tanzmontage.Balance

ENG PENG! das Himmelreich is the result of an inclusive research process on the subject “tight”, which was led by Georg Blaschke and created in the timeframe of nine mornings in two different rehearsal spaces.  It is the first guest choreography for tanzmontage.Balance, a group of performers with different abilities led by Sonja Browne/danse brute and Inge Kaindlstorfer/Lux Flux.
At the centre of the choreographic action, group pictures and partnering work stood, which displayed varying relations of nearness and distance.  Further the question of the group’s  inherent perception of time was explored as it crystallized out of the  practice of mutual attention in the process of interaction of the performers with their own bodies as well as other bodies..
From this arose fascinating, surprising and unpredictable moments that, just like the everyday artistic encounters that occurred, contributed to the refinement of the observing gaze.
