A Durational Dance Performance for Public Spaces

Inspired by Dancing Plague of Strasbourg, the choreographer and dancer Ceren Oran created this durational dance performance in public spaces. The Premiere took place during the DANCE Festival, 2019 for 10 days and 70 Hours. 

 

The more personal the reason why people dance, the more power it has and the more it emotionally touches the ones watching. Personal emotionality expressed by dance is one of the basis for this durational dance performance in the public space. Performers will dance non-stop, the audience (bystanders or bypassers) will see solos, duets, movements by groups in different constellations as well as scenes involving the masses. The dramaturgy of the 11 days will have both different highlights and intense lows due to exhaustion.

 

The different dance motivations create the basis for individual patterns, choreographies and structures for Who is Frau Troffea?, which developes further on stage through repetition, exhaustion and transferring onto the other dancers. All the dancers involved in the process share common goals: to have a unique transformative experience, express their emotional and physical landscapes, as honest as possible, to interact with the public space, fascinate and touch the audience by the images they are creating and generate a curiosity for DANCE and its uniting power!
