Dance in the desert sand

The dancers walk to the point of dissolution between heaven and earth on a sand plane leading to infinity.

A video dance theater

«A film forms the core of the multimedia production of the Raumflucht group. It was shot in the Mauritanian desert (West Africa). Taking distance from our overstimulated world and concentrating on the melody of silence and the landscape are the basis of the project. Three dancers form an interplay with light, sand dunes and movement compositions.
In the dialogue with movements live and movements on the stage, both levels should be reinforced. The landscape in the film also shapes the rhythm of the dancers.
