SP 01: BODY TALK – DANCE SHORTS & CHOREOGRAPHY

 

— DEU–

Film ist Bewegung, denn das starre Bild wurde in Lebensrhythmen befreit. Beim Tanzfilm wiederum eskaliert die Bewegung exponentiell: Die Narration ergreift auch die Körper der Betrachter. Mensch möge mitmachen! Der Tanzboden eines Balletthauses wird zur weißen Bühne einer leidenschaftlichen Ehrerbietung und die Performance in einem Berliner Schaufenster zur Kulturkritik. Wenn Kriege einen Jungen  im Tschad ausdrucksstark erzählen lassen, ist das großes Kino. Und in der berüchtigten Glaskugel lässt sich – in Bewegung – die eigene Identität reflektieren.

 

–ENG–

Film is movement, liberating the frozen image through vital rhythms. For their part, dance films represent an exponential flowering of movement: the narration also grabs hold of the beholders’ bodies. One yearns to join in! The dancefloor of a ballet house becomes a white stage for a passionate homage, while a performance in a Berlin shop window serves as an instance of cultural critique. When wars allow a boy in Chad to give powerful expression to his story, great cinema is the result. Finally, the notorious crystal ball serves as a space for reflection of and on personal identity, an identity in motion.
