BLUE MOON you saw ...

So the Nouvelle Vague shimmers today, illuminated by a blue moon to the vibrations of the voice of the immortal Elvis: You saw me standing alone. In Liquid Loft’s latest piece, the attempts at autonomy from the previous work Stand-Alones ( polyphony ) are combined with the rapt atmosphere of Alain Resnais’ film Last Year in Marienbad and Presley’s interpretation of a song that celebrates the longing for connection as the romance of being alone: Blue Moon. Last year at Leopold Museum at ImPulsTanz: Eight dancers from Liquid Loft created their own universes as stand-alones, each in their own museum space. They are only connected to each other by a sound system. Even before COVID-19, Liquid Loft has been dealing with distance. Now, with BLUE MOON you saw ..., the stand-alone characters are being further developed: In fleeting rituals and in search of lost cultural references, eight performers move through a reality without a past.
