A performance based on classical music. The thematic focus of this dance performance is to study this very structure and to present it visually on stage.
The main intention is to investigate the central norms of instrumental music and how they apply in an utterly different form of art that is dance. The body becomes a visual version of the musical instrument, and the musical score becomes the physical score that dictates the choreography. This performance does not care to elucidate the sentimental aspect of the art music. On the contrary, the main endeavour is the performers to detach from the sentimental impact of a musical composition, to resist the tendency for interpretation of the music. It is really an attempt to investigate our automatic response to hearing music.
