Voetvolk / Lisbeth Gruwez
AH|HA
- Tanz im August
Baring your teeth, your diaphragm twitching, a tremor driving you to tears: in its appropriation of the whole body, laughter borders on the violent. In "AH|HA", choreographer and dancer Lisbeth Gruwez dissects this involuntary reflex and breaks it down into its component movements. Assembled into a rave-like, monotonous delirium, Gruwez creates a choreographic trip, an exploration of ecstasy. "AH|HA" is an estranging abstraction for five bizarrely dressed charcters, which float from one state to the next, almost without volition. "AH|HA" is a behavioral study of human affects – anarchy defined by absolute control – scored to a suggestive soundtrack by composer Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. "AH|HA" is the first group piece by the Belgian collective Voetvolk, which was founded in 2007 by the choreographer and dancer Lisbeth Gruwez and the composer and musician Maarten Van Cauwenberghe. The piece was developed during their residency at the Troubleyn/Laboratorium of the Belgian director and choreographer Jan Fabre.
