Performance: Love Song

The diagram discards the traces of a danced love song. Love Song is a choreography by the sought-after neoclassical ballet dancer and choreographer of the Vienna State Opera Andrey Kaydanovskiy, which he presented at Junge Choreografen 2014 of the Ballet Club of the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper at the Odeon in Vienna. The pictured work shows a captured fragment of the choreography, in which Kaydanovskiy dances a one-minute excerpt of Love Song as a solo performance in what was then Casanova Sorolla's artist studio at Vienna's Kohlmarkt. One minute danced on the edge of tipping, falling into the picture and stretching the frame in a voluntary night shift. Participating in competitions or further developing one's own choreographic work requires high and initially unpaid commitment on the part of the dancers and choreographers. A reality that the sparse set in the artist's studio at night knows how to tell, just as the expressiveness that comes through now and then, as a gesture of urgency, writes itself under the skin of the paper.

This choreography now experiences a reenacment on the summer stage of the Museumsquartier. The same dancer, the same choreography, and again the artist Casonva Sorolla will turn it into a work of art with his special pigment process.
