Mette Ingvartsen: "Skatepark"

DANCE/PERFORMANCE/MUSIC

They fly through the air and defy gravity, listen to music, chat, laugh, sing, and dance. At the skate park, people from different communities get together, syncing their own body in co-ordination with the movements of the others and practising virtuoso physical experiments. With her new work, Danish choreographer Mette Ingvartsen depicts the skate park as a performative space and expands the common dance vocabulary to include kickturns, 180s and boardslides. Antidote, a global architectural firm specializing in skate parks in public spaces designs a site that features ramps and rails, a stage setting that is as functional as it is extraordinary. In "Skatepark", ten skaters from Brussels play with the possibilities afforded by the space, the boards and community in a multitude of parallel actions. A vibrant choreography for the stage, carefully structured and condensed, is thus created from everyday culture.

A joint project with Wiener Festwochen

Tickets are available through Wiener Festwochen at festwochen.at.

The performance on 20.05. will be followed by an artist talk.
