Galothar is a dance company founded in 2000 in Brussels, Belgium in order to support the choreographic work of the young Flemish choreographer Andy Deneys. The essence of the choreographic work of the company lies in the virtuosity of choreography with a strong mathematical base visualizing natural phenomena. The specific aesthetic world of Andy Deneys is based on movements which require both technical skills and strong physical condition from the dancers.
After its foundation in 2000 and a series of smaller productions, Galothar produced its first big production “Mudar” in 2005. “Mudar” is a choreography that visualizes universal principles and structures of natural phenomena. The choreography translates in two contrasting aesthetics the tension between two almost oppositional parts: the cosmos and the chaos.
The first part of the performance is a half an hour long crescendo that is an artistic translation of how nature creates evolution out of force or energy. Mathematical principles and structures are visualized by four dancers in the Renaissance style of Michelangelo. The second part of the performance is a static and sculptural choreography. It is the quiet after the storm, investigating the potential of emptiness and the beginning. The dancers’ bodies are reduced to lumps of flesh that have to find meaning and organization again. The often distorted shapes seem to come out of the same universe of how Françis Bacon painted physics. Towards the end, the choreography seeks for synthesis between the energetic search for divine beauty and fleshly mortality.
