SILENT BALLET | EMANUEL GAT DANCE
an orchestration of movements, this dance piece is using silence as well as its own live sounds, as a dense, thick, musical environment, open to endless opportunities for melodic, harmonic and dynamic interpretation.
a self-contained dance, SILENT BALLET is a work for 8 dancers, experimenting with different sets of choreographic tools and the transformation they undergo during the process of creation. starting as parts of growing physical mechanism, those initial sets of tools hold the dna of a slow unfolding logic with countless references. in many ways, SILENT BALLET is dealing with dance making itself. it exposes the parts of this fine tuned process and allows a glimpse into the alchemy of physical abstraction. questions about dance and beyond are tackled within a bare landscape, in a dance piece stripped to its basic elements.
