BLAST
BLAST is the latest choreographic production by VEDANZA Luxembourg created and performed by Emanuela Iacopini (IT/LU) in collaboration with Frey Faust (US/DE), Yuko Kominami (LU/JP/PT), and Saju Hari (UK/IN) to an original sound track by Rajivan Ayyappan (IN/LU). In a digital set design created by Laura Mannelli (LU) the piece explores sound projections and the impact of explosions on the response mechanisms of the human body.
BLAST reflects on destruction and creation, transition and transformation, the end and the beginning, searching into the light and darkness of explosions. A live performance where Butoh, Contact Improvisation, Axis Syllabus, Kalaripayattu, Meditation and Contemporary Dance enhance the creative process of the dancers. Coproduced by Op der Schmelz and Centre des Arts Pluriels Ettelbruck in Luxembourg with the financial support of the Ministère de la Culture, the piece will premiere and tour in Turkey, Morocco, and Luxembourg in 2020.
