Danza Permanente
DD Dorvillier/human future dance corps
The choreography of Danza Permanente comes from a musical composition created in Vienna two centuries ago by a deaf man. Initially written for four stringed instruments, the score is transposed into movement by four dancers. They embody the musical structure, behaviors and dynamics of the string quartet over time, and through space. In this performance the dancers behave as sound, in their becoming of visible music. They propose that you watch it in near-silence as you would listen to music in a darkened room. The transposition is by DD Dorvillier and Zeena Parkins, with dancers Fabian Barba, Nuno Bizarro, Walter Dundervill and Naiara Mendioroz and rehearsal assistant Heather Kravas. The acoustic environment by Zeena Parkins and lighting design by Thomas Dunn follow the score and frame this visible music.
Danza Permanente is a human future dance corps production. Co-production/Commission: the Rencontres chorégraphiques Seine-St. Denis, (Bagnolet France); The Kitchen (NYC, USA); the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) Crossing the Line Festival (NYC, USA); STUK Kunstencentrum (Leuven, Belgium), Centre national de danse contemporaine (Angers, France), PACT Zollverein (Essen, Germany).
