A choreography of expanding materiality, O is a new work by Sonja Pregrad, in which the choreographer\u2019s dance work reaches beyond the purely human. She outlines her intentions in the following manner: \u00bbJust as in spring the identical cycle of growth manifests itself diversely through soil, moss, grasses, flowering plants, trees, fulfilling different forms and vectors, but also pointing to a common driving force, I am interested in the possibility of a composite choreography of the collective body the folklore of an\/organic geometry (as collective collection choreography of gestures). I want to open the question of choreography conceptually and methodologically towards the ruins of the anthropocentric architecture of viewing immanent to theatre as a medium.\u00ab<\/p>\n
With her performance O, the artist subtly enters one of the most interesting fields of the contemporary choreographic future. She draws from a choreographic interest in the geometry of plants, as well as the affects and tensions in the (in)organic. Simultaneously, such treatment of the subject is closely related to certain works from past editions of CoFestival, in which the authors explore choreographic uses and treatments of organic \u00bbvibrant matters.\u00ab<\/p>\n
