Mette Ingvartsen & Will Guthrie: All Around

Centring on themes of intoxication, transformation and cure, Tanzquartier Wien presents All Around by choreographer and dancer Mette Ingvartsen and percussionist Will Guthrie in the context of the Musikverein festival Beethovens Medizinlöffel.

In "All Around", spinning and turning, rhythm and speed become the main components of a performance that drives towards an ecstatic and trance-like intensity. "This piece feels like a cure for all the negative effects which control our times. It works like an energy injection", says Mette Ingvartsen.

Will Guthrie and Mette Ingvartsen have followed each other’s work and collaborated at a distance over the past five years. In this drum/dance/duo, they perform live together for the first time, bringing their respective disciplines into proximity. The result is a fusion of forms: a music concert with dance. In "All Around", the audience encircles a performance space inhabited by a drum kit, a moving light and the performers’ bodies.
