- During the Ruhrtriennale
- Performance Dance / Performance
›MONUMENT 0: HAUNTED BY WARS (1913—2013)‹ is the first part of a performance series by choreographer and performer Eszter Salamon engaging with the relationship between choreography and history. Looking back over 100 years of dance, art, and world history that she interprets as a global history of war, Salamon attempts to develop an alternative narrative to official historiography with the help of tribal and folk dance as well as contemporary popular dance forms from all five continents. Moving through a chronologically sorted century of war history starting from the First World War, the six performers in Salamon’s ›dance of death‹ sketch a dark and yet surreal scenario - a look at a mass grave out of which figures, physical states and rituals rise to counter the horror with spiritual vitality and challenge the audience to pursue a trail of speculations and fictional world contexts.
