DANS.KIAS / Saskia Hölbling (AT)
Exposition Corps | Manual Focus

[8:tension]
Saskia Hölbling, Austrian body composer and popular young choreographer, presents a new and exciting solo piece. With „exposition corps“ she continues her intense analysis of „the subjectivity of the body as such“, an analysis she has so impressively begun with her controversial group piece „other feature". Hölbling has now entered another stage within her ambitious experimental series, one that has the versatile artist focus on working with and about body memory, the perpetual interplay of remembering and forgetting … Mette Ingvartsen Manual Focus Three women never turning around. Yet through the eye-sockets of old men they keep throwing dull looks at us. „Manual Focus“, a trio by P.A.R.T.S. student Mette Ingvartsen, creates monsters. A twelve-legged creature splits up into three individuals who crawl, weasel and sneak while attentively fixing the audience. A perfect transformation taking place in eerie silence. A metamorphosis that reminds us of beasts from horror movies and, at the same time, turns them ad absurdum, since the deception is so very obvious. And yet: What we observe in „Manual Focus“ is looking at us. But is it also twinkling?
