EQUILIBRIUM (2019)
Premiere: February 24th, 2019
Venue: KUC Travno, Zagreb, @8pm
Author: Marija Šćekić
INFO
Equilibrium is a vertical dance and somatic movement full evening performance about lives of four
new-born bodies, created by Marija Scekic. Equilibrium (by definition) is the ability of the body to
remain in a state of rest or movement.
In this piece, the author investigates two different dynamic systems only seemingly similar to each
other. The first system consists of three bodies independently attached to ropes that fall freely
from the height of the empty space of the scene.
This strong visual image represents three umbilical cords through which dancers breathe air, gather
information about the world and through which they communicate with each other while being born. The
second system involves only one body, already alive and fully active and partly independent.
Their interaction causes certain reactions that lead to the breaking and tearing of the umbilical
cord
(ropes), separation of strings (flax) and dynamic collapse that results in the ejection of the
bodies from their equilibrium systems.
Despite this "human" vulnerability feature, all bodies return to their equilibrium, some sooner
rather than later.
