Urtanz

Premiered in 2009 in The Hague, NL during TodaysArt Festival with dancers from Nederlands Dans Theater 1

Lukas Timulak, in this collaboration with the designer Peter Bilak takes interest in abstract language with the structure of music. The backdrop of the piece is Kurt Schwitters' Ursonate from 1920s, written organization of phonetics that bridges music with poetry and performative arts. It is humorous and dead serious at the same time, acurate and barbaric, historical and modern.

Original cast dancers:

Nina Botkay
Ema Yuasa
Jiří Pokorny
