Continu

​​Sasha Waltz

In »Continu«, Sasha Waltz has consolidated key elements of her work of the previous ten years. A field of tension between choreographic, musical and visual currents of energy is generated, while the title denotes the continuity of the perpetual forces of nature. Sasha Waltz in »Continu« engages with primary impulses deriving from her major projects for museums of 2009 – the artistic inaugurations for David Chipperfield’s Neues Museum Berlin and Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI in Rome. Employing 24 dancers she has conceived a large-format, archaic choreography. Elements of her research on rite and group dynamics determine the vocabulary. The epochal symphonic work »Arcana« by Edgard Varèse represents the musical core of »Continu«, which is complemented by compositions of artists like Claude Vivier and Iannis Xenakis, including his percussion solo »Rebonds B« live performed by percussionist

Robyn Schulkowsky.
