The Bosch Experience part II

body and machinery

The Bosch Experience part II is the second part of Georg Blaschke’s choreographic involvement with the world-famous triptych painting The Last Judgement by Hieronymus Bosch, exhibited at the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
This second part implements a collaborative process between M.A.P. Vienna (artistic direction: Georg Blaschke)l awine torrèn (Salzburg/AT, artistic direction: Hubert Lepka) and the Paintings Gallery of the Academy of FIne Arts in Vienna.

body & machinery
Georg Blaschke takes us on a journey through the deployment of machines and relicts of machineries. This deployment ends with an expansion of the choreographic space of action. In body & machinery two bodies resonate with the heavy and dismembered materiality of these machine’s fragments and give a new interpretation to their functionality: what was originally created to cause wounds and pleasures to the body and the earth is now relieved from its initial utility. Here the machine is a possible tool for tearing up ground and flesh but can also be considered as a separable accumulation of grotesque details. As a consequence of this choreographic projection, a complex and enthralling “movement created” image, is brought face to face with the world’s image of Bosch’s painting.

timor et tremor
After the productions engel, hochwald and sägewerk, timor et tremor is the “fourth state of aggregation” from Hubert Lepka / lawine torrèn’s project about landscape. In this duo for a LED-Wall and a dancer, the artist engages with principles of polyphony and movement. His work focuses on the effects of multivoicedness on the aesthetics of contemporary dance and flows into the question: how can reaction, cancer, reversal and fugue be made useful for the aesthetics of horror?
