Matter
Nina Traub and Anat Bosak are two choreographers coming from the same language, both esthetically and lingually. They both create a part of their work, at least, by the connection of a word, or a feeling, to a representative material or form. Together they strive to develop a stage project through which to study the metamorphosis of a word into a material. For the aim of decoding the Tree of Life, we will approach it by the means of movement. It will act as the indicator - the small piece of paper changing colors in a urine sample. Using the words symbolically inscribed on the Tree of Life as instructions, it will explore as only movement can: changing forms, fluidically floating, barely touching at times, yet concrete (but not constantly).
We will climb the Tree of Life deconstructing and rebuilding our understanding of it, with the 12 processes of material transformation as our modus operates, with the hope of better understanding the meaning of life.
Just kidding.
Hoping to eventually say something meaningful about constructs and the world of images we live in.
