On Sunday, 6 April (7 pm) Gdańsk?s Club Żak (al. Grunwaldzka 195/197) will debut solos from the winners of the Residency/Premiere 2014 competition for the best concept of a broadly understood contemporary dance piece. The competition aims to support and promote contemporary dance/contemporary ballet. The solos were developed by young dancers, Liwia Bargieł and Hygin Delimat, who were coached by excellent choreographer and dancer, Martin Sonderkamp of Germany.

 

About the pieces:

 

Liwia Bargieł: LOVE SONG

Inspired by Sylvia Plath, the performance reveals a spectrum of emotional fluctuations of the lyrical I and is an intimate farewell to the material world, an epitaph describing subsequent stages of Plath?s development as her condition worsened. It is nevertheless not a funeral work: Love Song recalls Sylvia Plath?s lively, vibrant spirit, her tragic sensitivity. It interprets the poet?s inability to balance her emotional pendulum, which drops down in the finale, ceasing to strike any more rhythms and accents.

Hygin Delimat: FOR LIVING IN  

A machine for living in ? dubbed Plattenbau, wielka płyta, panelák, large-panel system building has been a loose interpretation of Le  Corbusier?s idealistic propositions. Today, thousands of people exist crowded in narrow spaces, side by side, yet anonymous and disconnected. Blocks of flats stand for lack of communication, lack of perspectives, boredom and alcohol, but also street art and powerful motivation to act in some. For living in is an expressive form conveying all these emotions and experiences.
