Starting from Marcel Duchamp’s Large Glass, the piece reads the work as an abstract vision of a new energetic order between man and woman and turns it into a movement score. Erotic attraction, played out “with crossed arms”, becomes a dance between fight and game, asking whether a “sacred union” is possible without falling back into fixed gender roles. The second creation of TANZMACHTSICHTBAR / DANCEMAKESVISIBLE, the collective of Carla Jordão, Katharina Geyer and Wilfried Dörstel, which translates visual artworks into dance.
