"Earthly Tongues" Hedwig Dances
Ruth Page Theater • Chicago • May 2008
"Hedwig Dances launches its 24th season with the premiere of Earthly Tongues, a new work by artistic director Jan Bartoszek. Earthly Tongues mines the rich terrain of ancestry and memory. With hearty doses of humor and pungency, the dance examines what we know, what we don't know and what we fantasize about our collective and individual origins."
Luftwerk was invited to collaborate with Hedwig Dances and developed video projection elements as part of Hedwig Dances spring dance concert 'Earthly Tongues'.
The 'Feuertanz' sequence was projected on a double layered backdrop and presents the 'mythical tribe' moving towards flickering flames.
The 'Family Portrait' captured generations of people, which were then projected onto the performers itself.
