Tanzfabrik Berlin / Wedding

Production Details / Press Releases

“Roberta Again” is Roberta Milevoj’s new dance piece which explores the possibilities of reshaping the emotional experience of a natural space in an artificial setting such as a performance space. As the transit from the former into the latter is made, the material obtained by being in the natural place transforms. Backed by a specific musical background, such altered dance material creates a new perspective of the time and space of the performance.

Is the first, natural space just a place from which we draw inspiration for the other, artificial space?
Is it possible to translate one space into the other?
Is it possible for a space to change solely on the basis of a change of our perception?
Is it possible to create a third, imaginary space by reviving a physical memory?
Is what we see really the way we see it?

“I believe that the body, just like nature, is faced with a lack of the usual creating tools on disposal if it finds itself in a space rarely used for creating material. In such a situation, the conditions under which the show is being made change along with the perception of the creation itself. I was interested in comparing the two experiences: how to observe one’s personal perception of nature through choreography, how to deal with the natural when performing.”
Roberta Milevoj

“I decided to record live sessions while observing Roberta’s movements. I tried to do so as if doing some typical field recording. The recordings thus became my musical score.”
Nenad Sinkauz
