I had the chance to work closely with the dancers of EnKnapGroup and compose and produce the soundtrack of their dance show "What happens when you touch it?", as well as the soundtrack of the teaser of the show.
Dance performance
’All of a sudden the sun began to shine so strongly that the sunshine
broke through the clouds and it ripped the ground and it went through my
face, leaving a hole through my head. I felt no pain and actually I could
touch the sunbeam. I took it out from my head and it became a laser
sword…’
‘What happens when you touch it’ is a performance, which plays between the
physical and the mental, moving from the rational, linear, logical world
into the world of the imagination. It is a game of impossibilities and
warped reality filled with personal and collective consciousness and sub
consciousness, where the stage is transformed into a fragmented door to
another world. We communicate our thoughts, ideas and wishes, our
non-sense, our illogical stories, the absurdity that keeps us sane, the
unrealised wishes, the hidden aggression, the luminescent beauty, the gory
details and bizarre connections, the obsessions, the worst-case scenarios
and the superhuman abilities. Welcome to the playground of our minds. How
does it look through your eyes?
EnKnapGroup, Ljubljana-based dance company, called me to collaborate as a music
composer and sound designer, on a new contemporary dance show: “What
happens when you touch it”. The dancers are the wonderful: Bencei Mezei,
Ida Hellsten and Luke Thomas Dunne. I was very happy to work with Iztok
Kovač‘s dancers for several months and finally we had the première on
February 13th 2014 in Spanski borci Theatre.
