Today I would like to talk about the greatest director, producer and choreographer Sasha Waltz and her perfomance and film Dialoge 09 Neues Museum.
Sasha was born in German city Karlsruhe. She studied choeography and dance in NYC and Amsterdam. Her first major work Travelogue-Trilogie” (1993-1995) put her on a par with well-known theater directors. And after then she was talked like a new revelation.
In the perfomances Sasha combines postmodern dance with narrative ‘physical’ theater. Her purpose is to break into the content through the movement, using diversity of body language and the dynamic of its energy. Her perfomance is based on deep exploration of human psychology and reflects the acute social problems.
By October 2009 The New Museum of Berlin had been restored after the war. At the opening of the museum Sasha Waltz presented her choreography project Dialoge 09 Neus Museum, where she explored a relationship between dance and architecture. According to Sasha it was a vernissage, a walk through the museum, the performance of a temporary living exposition. Actors and musicians became museum’s live exhibits, dressed into costumes of different eras. They were either a part of the architectural composition or the independent subject of art. For viewers this performance became an absolute surprise and inspire them much.
