With a soft rope, the dancers lift themselves above the boring everyday life
Architecture firm Standard Practice has had a dancing foot involved in the design of the scenography in the dance piece. But maybe more than that. The long ropes intertwine and unfold with the dancers as residents of the lianas at a height of 5-6 metres. Not tangled like in the jungle, but perfect patterns like in architecture.
The performers climb the soft ropes, precise and perfect like the construction of an Audi or the letter 'A' in the Bauhaus font. It is 'Vorsprung durch Technik', it is beautiful and inspiring. All that we can do when we are skilled and strong - and perhaps interweave the ropes in such a way that it is easy for the individual to climb upwards in the community.
Axial Figures is a 5-star experience
I'm quite fond of the performers in 'Axial Figures' who are all Swedish, Finnish and Estonian. Totally strong women who can lift themselves high up on the ropes and avoid falling down uncontrollably. The music is created by Mercy. Scenography by Hugh Diamond from the architecture firm Standard Practice.
Thank you for a 5-star experience. It was good.
