[ concept/idea/sound collage: Tom Plischke
[ choreography/performance: Alice Chauchat, Hendrik Laevens, Martin Nachbar, Tom Plischke
[ text material: Igor Stravinsky, Millicent Hudson, Merce Cunningham, William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Marcel Duchamp

It is not without humour and horror that B.D.C./Tom Plischke think about dance and its history in ”events for television (again)". This performance refers both to an early 20th century classic - Vaslav Nijinsky’s ”Le sacre du printemps" set to music by Igor Stravinsky - as well as to an icon of the modern spirit, Merce Cunningham. William Burrough’s text passages draw the piece together. The central subject is disciplining the body through dance.

Affects
[ mise-en-scene: Tom Plischke
[ dramaturgy: Joachim Gerstmeier
[ reconstruction: "Affectos Humanos", (1962) von Dore Hoyer: Martin Nachbar, Waltraud Luley

Three ultimately inexplicable basic human emotions - hate, desire and fear - are the focus of this project. In the sixties this subject inspired the dancer and choreographer Dore Hoyer to create a five-part cycle entitled ”Affectos Humanos”. Martin Nachbar dances without music in Hoyer’s costume with a microphone in front of his face. The sound track of his breathing follows after him and can be heard when he stands still - for the entire duration of the dance.
