The event is over
A body joins another in motion. Another follows, and yet another. They build on each other. When do we perceive them as a multitude?
Inspired visually, lyrically and sound-wise by protest, Holding Present, a new collaboration between choreographer Ula Sickle and Ictus, the Brussels contemporary music ensemble, examines how an individual act can become a powerful collective movement. Weaving a network of existing and newly-commissioned compositions, a group of eight performers (four musicians and four dancers) slowly builds up a movement, a momentum, as they work toward the breaking point where individuals become a critical mass.
The performance also includes works by composers Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, Didem Coskunseven and Stellan Veloce, with the musical instruments of the artist Gert Aertsen.
