This dance performance/choreography/movement research becomes a deep choreographic collaboration between Jan Martens and Marc Vanrunxt.

This creation could be about searching for lost and forgotten movements. It could be archiving of future movements, secondary movements, forgotten movements, new intentions and ambitions for a / thé (dance) future. Or, perhaps, it might be a prelude to the past of dance, of dance movements, of motives and motivations.

Perhaps it will be a Solo For Thousand Men (Marc Vanrunxt, 1982). Or it may be a Symphony for Man Alone (Symphonie pour un homme seul, Maurice Béjart, 1966).

Perhaps it’s the last move ever.

Vanrunxt (1960) X Martens (1984): A Future Dance, danced on Lacrimosa Dies Illa: ‘It’ll be a day of tears’ or Morrissey & the Smiths singing: ‘And if a double-decker bus crashes into us Your side Is such a heavenly way to die’. (The Queen Is Dead – The Smiths, 1986)

Will be continued in 2019 …
