AURA
A choreography by Katerina Valdivia Bruch
Dance: Brigitte Geier, Katerina Valdivia Bruch
Music: Tivadar Nemesi, Preslav Literary School
Inspired by the books The Empire of Signs of Roland Barthes and the novelle Aura of Carlos Fuentes, this dance piece combines images from both books interpreting time in a non linear way. Starting from Ikebana and some topics of Japanese aesthetics, the dancers perform different images in a fluent sequence of movements. The piece presents an atmosphere of remembrance, overlapping past and present. Both dancers coincide in one character, Aura, as the personification of a woman who lives in a present-past time.
Performed at the Cultural Centre of Smederevo, Serbia, June 2009.
AUDIENCE AWARD at the Patosoffiranje Festival.
