Can unrest have its own geometry? Can defiance be structured, functional, playful? Dance seems to be a battlefield where discipline and revolt, stasis and motion, the concrete and the fluid, costumes and nakedness collide. Can bodies become mediators in this fight, renew its codes and subvert its rules?
Unfolding through a series of vignettes—borrowing inspiration from the philosophy of Bauhaus and the Triadic Ballet—Masterwork for Six Dancers explores the ways in which the body sheds cultural symbols and societal meanings projected upon it over time.
By using objects as costumes that impede movement and give it a mechanical tinge, the body reshapes its autonomy in a flurry of functional obstacles. Its functions slip between the concrete and the abstract into choreography.
Each and every body is a masterpiece in its own right, emerging from the entanglement of the self and the environment. By modifying the body, by “objectifying” it and extending it into space and surroundings, by submitting and submerging the body, a paradoxical freedom and autonomy emerge—that of art and artifice.
The work has been presented at tanzmainz festival #5 (Staatstheater Mainz, DEU, 2025).
The performance contains nudity and is suitable for audiences aged 15 or older.
Strobe lighting effects will be used during this performance.
