PART
PART is a collaboration between OFFprojects, Ragazze Quartet and sound designer Salvador Breed. In this project we explore notions of fragmentation and emptiness through movement, sound and space. We ask ourselves what happens when we dismantle the whole and examine the individual parts: are we destroying, or are we creating space for something new? With Beethoven’s string quartet opus 132 as a departure point we deconstruct, play and search for this potential.
The piece is made for big spaces while at the same time being an intimate encounter between the audience and the performers. Sound designer and composer Salvador Breed utilizes special 4DSOUND technology to break down and reimagine Beethoven’s score – creating an immersive sonic choreography that interacts with dancers and musicians alike.
“Pure dance and playful abstraction evokes a sensation of freedom” – Theaterkrant review of the premiere.
