Show
Cosima Grand
things veer
Four performers tread invisible paths. They swing and tune into each other and move in a cosmos of vibrating relationships. A kind of emotional formalism serves as the basis for their movements.
With things veer, Cosima Grand continues to pursue her interest in the intertwining of humans and non-humans and investigates how we relate to each other. The theme of resonance has an important place in this. Her last work Restless Beings was earthbound and inspired by microbes and bacteria. things veer now straightens out: The piece zooms out and emblematically goes dark - into galactic spheres, from external movement to movement within, from scream to silent pulse.
