RUSH

Mette Ingvartsen: RUSH

Fri 06. & Sat 07.12., Austrian Premiere, Performance, in English 

"RUSH" is a solo performance for Manon Santkin that draws on 20 years of collaboration and performance within the choreographic work of Mette Ingvartsen. A celebration of an intense and long-lasting collaboration and a tribute to the act of performing itself, the piece creates a headlong rush of performance by reactivating and rewilding highlights from past works.

Manon Santkin revisits and performs material and scores from past performances, reshaping them through storytelling and narration. Like a chameleon, her body transforms as she passes through an intimate history, performing her own story within a larger body of work. A fine mesh of relations is evoked between the monstrous qualities of "Manual Focus", the natural environments of "The Artificial Nature Project", and the sexual politics of "to come" and "7 Pleasures", alongside a plethora of other works. Out of these connections emerges a surprising chronology, a rush of energy that captures the detail and pleasures of performing.
