SEQUEL FOR THE FUTURE // a dance in 2043 / a dance in 2044 is a dance performance in two acts, which explore what contemporary dance will look like in 30 years and how its authors will be dancing then.

We have asked other dance artists how and why – 30 years ago, today and in 30 years – they select dance as means of communication and expression. Within the performance their stories become paradigms of reality, visions for potential aesthetic and geopolitical systems and documents the physicality of aging.

Choreographer (34):
„Funny to give interview, it makes me feel old.
What is dance? (LAUGH) I go dancing Saturday night.
What is contemporary dance? It is not existing.
What is contemporary dance? I don’t know.
Everything is movement as we know from the Big bang….Small and protected environment…I learnt all these patterns…The economy of the space…Cultural operators are ordering what they want to see like kings before.
I’m not going to the stage to do something…I went through many stages;
French phase – when you learn from some French some movements.
Everything is energy and information…To give time to things. This is choreography.
When electricity appeared they didn’t believe it will be everywhere. And then some professional artist come and do art, because they know how to do art. Conceptual dance will deconstruct the chip. Things will be able to change color, to communicate.
Big stars can not appear anymore…My parents said I was taking a big doll and dancing with it in 1983. I hope people will dance, not watch dance in 2043“

Choreographer (65):
„Why is it absolutely necessary to change something?
What is contemporary dance? A method to search in your corporate being. Contemporary is a chronological way to see. Consciously or subconsciously we’re looking back.
He was a wonderful choreographer and I really regret he is dead.
We must do every day and every time something new.
If you are not talented than it is necessary to see and see and see.
My life in communist times…
Body on stage, even if it is minimized or theatrical will suffer a lot of transformation
The dance will be much more fluid between sense and signification, more fluid between form and inside.
Now we are more in the same story. In this Europe. It might be possible in 30 years dance not to be everywhere, but only in few places. I am afraid.
Don’t you think there is an obligation in the air?“

Make the future. Fail the future. Fail better. With fears and hopes. Let’s celebrate the future!
