In recent decades, the realm of sexual arousal and fantasy has multiplied and expanded through the digital imaginary of the world wide web, more than at any other point in human history. Sexual, romantic, and other interpersonal relationships have become saturated with an inflation of image-making and scripting. In the Year of the Snake, Imre Vass takes this on with a contemporary choreographic approach that is not without humour.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artists who created <\/span>MMXXV<\/span><\/i>, and who will perform in it, are well known to Ljubljana audiences. Choreographer Imre Vass was last year\u2019s artist-in-residence at Nomad Dance Academy Slovenia, within the Creative Crossroads programme of the European project Life Long Burning, while the choreographic works of Adrienn H\u00f3d and Csaba Moln\u00e1r are already familiar to our audiences, having been presented several times at \u0160panski borci in Moste; Csaba Moln\u00e1r also created Mojstrovina (Masterpiece) for six dancers with the En-Knap Group ensemble. The perceptive, intelligent, and disarming humour of Hungarian choreographers is hard to match anywhere in the landscape of European contemporary dance.<\/span><\/p>\n

In <\/span>MMXXV<\/span><\/i>, Imre Vass invites us to surrender to the sensory experience of listening to the album MCMXC a.D. (1990) by the German-Romanian phenomenon Enigma, which, thirty-five years ago, took over European music charts in the New Age pop genre. The performance creates an ambient laboratory in which, following the choreographic actions of the dancers, our senses can relinquish themselves to an analytical exploration of the impulses that stimulate our sexual arousal. The performers “do not impose their own theatrical or compositional ideas on Enigma, but instead surrender themselves to its guidance. They dive into it, release the impulses hidden in their pelvises, and, to the emblematic, synthesised sounds of the shakuhachi flute, let desires awaken within them \u2212 connecting freely, without shame or restraint, with themselves and with other human and non-human materials and beings capable of catching their attention.” Category: dangerously free. Liberated sensuality as a political programme, so to speak.<\/span><\/p>\n
