Performance synopsis
Choreographic layers emerge from a gravitational field, repeating themselves, revealing geometric grids and forming polyphonic rhythms. Space becomes movement, a wave, a field. Space happens, and we become part of the event. Maria Zimpel’s choreographic research references quantum physics, quantum gravity, and perception in motion. Using modular choreographic systems, she releases physicality to create her own dance language. Can you hear space dancing?
