Diana, Even
- Dance
60 mins.
An arrow hits a tree in a forest. The hit sets the arrow into an infinite vibration. The vibration creates ripples on the still water and disturbs its surface. At that moment, Diana, the goddess of hunt and protector of flora and fauna falls dead. This violent redirection of the myth and its historical course creates a new mythical time-space. Diana now exists simultaneously as hunter and prey. In Kat Válastur’s new choreography the four dancers Xenia Koghilaki, Malika Lamwersiek, Ogbitse Omagbemi, Tamar Sonn and four polyphonic singers by the Greek female vocal group Pleiades embody these circles of action on a stage created by Leon Eixenberger and with the light design of Martin Beeretz. “Diana, Even” takes the event beyond mythic construction and thus suggests through quantum mechanical principles (the observer co-creates what is observed), a new reading of History.
