GLITCH WITCH
- Dance
In “GLITCH WITCH”, choreographer Meg Stuart, dancer Omagbitse Omagbemi, and composer/musician Mieko Suzuki meet in a sparklingly desolate, enigmatically burned-out landscape. Moving within and beyond the personal histories imprinted on their bodies, they glide and glitch between different possible worlds—between above and below, between the before and after of every passing moment.
While trying to break the spell of personal and ancestral memories that keep them apart, they search for a not-yet-existent shared language. In their quest, a pulsating progression of shimmering, mutable dances unfold. Within this series of overlapping movement patterns, the three women gradually uncover a shared (witch)craft: a resonant force of mutual transformations and a vulnerable ritual of solidarity that elevates them above their differences. Glitches emerge at the volatile points of their encounters, becoming a growing vocabulary of resistance and surrender, a collective chant that disrupts all enchantments.
This performance was created as part of a collaboration between Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods and the Berlin-based Dance On Ensemble, which works with dancers over the age of 40. Within their Encounters series, the company is launching new performances where the choreographer is visible as a dancer, engaging with a dancer from the Ensemble.
