"With seductive sensuality Rosalie Wanka gracefully bewitches the audience, traces the myth of the enchantress Circe. Or deconstructs that of the beautiful Helena into a bald goddess of war - as in Franz von Stuck's paintings."
OÖ Nachrichten, March 2018
In BEZIRZUNGEN, the performers, each from their respective disciplines - dance, acting, music - embark on a search for archetypal ideas, looking for the forms behind forms. The scenes unfold in the enigmatic realm between movement and dance, sound and noise, breath and voice, history and symbolism, time and moment, the forgotten and the "always-there."
The symbolist paintings of women and corresponding photographic studies by Franz von Stuck (1863-1928) offer visually, as well as emotionally, a strong starting point for the choreographic work. Posture, aesthetics, but also the mythological subjects and symbolism of the Bavarian draftsman and painter provide abundant material for the dance interpretation of these themes.
Most remarkable are the gazes of the depicted, in which the inner life is bundled and condensed into that very instant, captured in the picture. Starting from this, the represented figure is to be recreated. Techniques of de- and re-construction, composition and historiography give birth to sound, voice to movement and motion to history.
