ImPulsTanz 2024

Fri 09.08., 19h & Sun 11.08., 21h, Austrian Premiere, Halle G

It all starts with a ritual on a glamorously decorated stage bathed in bright blue light. Together with 70+-year-old choreography legend Ishmael Houston-Jones, Snowflake Calvert – an artist with indigenous Yaqui, Raramuri and Tzotzil-Maya heritage – improvisation specialist Keith Hennessy, jose e. abad and Kevin O’Connor harness the powers of their ancestors and project themselves into the future. The spontaneous dancing of these artistic accomplices’ bodies to an almost magical music score activates solidarity, mutual consent and artistic healing. In their ingeniously immersive installation, a queer improvisation slowly develops into a sensuous, cross-generational, gender-nonconforming fantasy.
