Dancing with objects
5 May 2019, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Dance masks from a wide range of cultures are on display in the exhibition BIG: some of them huge and expressive, others dainty and imaginative. Beatrice Voirol explains the contexts in which they are used and the relationship between dancer and mask. The subsequent show by “Tulpa” is object theatre and dance performance in one. A mysterious dance object enters the room: what follows is a dialogue between body and object, an encounter between small and large, between the subtle and the obvious.
With Beatrice Voirol, curator for Oceania, and the creators of “Tulpa”: Fabrizio Di Salvo, music, Sol Bilbao Lucuix, dance, and Tabea Rothfuchs, object design.
