Eszter Salamon
MONUMENT 0.1: Valda & Gus
- Premiere / in collaboration with Christophe Wavelet
- Performance Dance / performance in English
From London to New York, Paris to Berlin, Shiraz to Taiwan, from Bertolt Brecht to Marcel Duchamp, Rudolf Laban to Martha Graham, from Merce Cunningham to David Gordon and Yvonne Rainer, from John Cage to Morton Feldman and La Monte Young, from Brian de Palma to Woody Allen and from King Lear to Othello:
For over sixty years, the artistic careers of Valda Setterfield and Gus Solomons Jr. have been linked to a host of prominent art scenes, artists and historic developments. Located between fiction and history, Eszter Salamon’s latest creation ›MONUMENT 0.1: Valda & Gus‹ draws on a series of interviews in New York with these two exceptional performers now in their seventies and eighties and questions, in an empathic composition of space, bodies, gestures, voices and words, the currents of time, memory and testimony.
Following her critically acclaimed production ›Monument 0: Haunted by Wars (1913-2013)‹ presented at PACT in 2014 during the Ruhrtriennale, ›MONUMENT 0.1: Valda & Gus‹ is the second part of a series by Eszter Salamon engaging with the relationship between choreography and history.
