Premier performance »SLUMP DANCE«: WED 16.11.2011 // 20:00
Great Hall / Festspielhaus Hellerau
immediate following the opening (19:00) of the International Festival for computer based art CYNETART

The TMA production »SLUMP DANCE" expands the former revolutionary concept of Adolphe Appia, who was active at the Festspielhaus a hundred years ago, using modern technologies.

The performance installation developed as part of the test series A.P.P.I.A. LAB sees itself as a fragile journey through different human body movement cultures in the context of the history and present of the Hellerau festival area (Festspielhaus Hellerau). One can understand the project as a study on the perception of the physical body, in direct relation to dimensions of aural and visual space.

"Slump" can be understood among others as a "downturn" or "sharp fall".

At the beginning is turning: the children, the dervishes in folk dances ... This is followed by the encounter of people and machines, cool functionality meets emotion. In the third act the awakening of the body, to become alive and speaking of the bodies. At the end a memory to ballet, dance on points and the (im)possibility of a happy ending.


For the first time in the Festspielhaus speakers with natural sound propagation (natural sound transducers (Naturschallwandler)) are used for the sound reproduction.

Tip: The second performance will take place on Saturday, 19th of November 21:00 o'clock.
