Kroki 2018 / House Beating
Hygin Delimat (Austria / Poland)
- Premiere: 10.10.2015
House Beating is a transmedial performative artwork evolved around themes of Contemporary Architecture. A collective of artists interprets Le Corbusier’s and Iannis Xennakis’ revolutionary concepts of performing space, and recontextualizes them in relation to newly emerged contemporary buildings: their surfaces, rooms, sensations. The piece particularly anticipates moments of emergence, creation, construction. The powerful dance includes a choreography of two male athletic dancers exploring borderline, architectural possibilities of their bodies, and a giant, organically morphing wooden structure, along the sound of deconstructed Xennakis’ and Cage’s compositions.
