Independent Swan

- Fri 24.09.10 20 h
A perfectly-timed demanding, loud, highly-polished piece of dance theatre. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (Rhein-Main-Zeitung) A disturbing dark ritual is carried out on a cross made of white squares: undaunted the observer becomes witness and thus participant in a ceremony that turns the individual into a manoeuvrable object.
In his latest work ›Independent Swan‹ Jo Fabian grapples with the power of totalitarian symbols. What emerges is a game of fear and fascination with subjugation and de-personalisation. We want to be told what to do, what it’s all about, beatitude and ideology, militarism and symphony, totality and memory, mind and rhythm, art and dictatorship... Jo Fabian
