HERVIS FAMILY & LADY LIKE

A double bill of contemporary dance works.

 

Herviss Family

Is contemporary dance dead? Is financing important for creating art? Does a performance have to go somewhere?

 

Herviss Family is a performance about the convention in theatre and contemporary dance. The performance has three characters: Hervia, Onia and Pelvis. They are waiting for Herviss. They do that by questioning ideas and ways of expressing in the field of performative arts. They are playing with notions like: structure, improvisation, traditional, concept, idea, multi-disciplinary, contemporary etc.

Presented by Asociatia Art EveryWhere.

 

Lady Like

A short work about the female image and femininity throughout history.

 

Many women feel alone at times whether they are surrounded by other women or not. If a woman cannot climax, does that mean she is no longer a woman?! What makes a woman a woman? Is it the softness of her voice,or the redness of her lips? Maybe it’s the way her body moves in space. In order to feel like a woman does she need to speak her mind, or is it enough to just stand still and smile?

 

These performances took place at the Roundhouse during the Accidental Festival on Friday, May 23rd at 4:30pm.

GREAT GRANDMOTHER

 

This piece started its life originally as a live voice installation exploring the relationship between the audience and an opera singer.

 

For the Accidental Festival the Norwegian Theatre Academy have transformed Great Grandmother into a sensory space using a sound recording of Kindertotenlieder by Mahler. Great Grandmother offers a tactile space where sound functions as a catalyst, creating the possibility for physical experience.
