VIOLET is a whirl-dance whose energetic currents stir the wavelengths of both dance and imagination. An ensemble of five dancers embarks on a journey traversing the stage as if it were a mental landscape. „Brendan Dougherty, the composer, sits on stage behind a drum kit and produces a dense wall of electronic and percussive sound through which five performers ceaselessly progress, at times painstakingly, at others frenetically. The sensation is simultaneously startling, liberating and harrowing for spectators and performers alike. As usual with Stuart’s work, indifference is not an option.” (Oonagh Duckworth, The Bulletin)
“Violet is the last colour in the spectrum, before ultra violet light, before the unknown, before the imperceptible. I like that notion. Plus, it could be a good name for a rock band. That’s a bit how we feel, like we’re giving a hard core rock and roll concert rather than a dance performance.” (Meg Stuart)
Perhaps the most abstract piece so far in Meg Stuart’s long standing career, VIOLET bears her unique signature, an art that hones a frail ‘condition humaine’ in its intense physical emergence. It is the first time that the internationally renowned, Bessie Award winning choreographer presents her work in Hungary.
