Emanuel Gat will bring the piece Brilliant Corners to the Trafó on April 28-29 as part of the art centre?s 200pc Dance programme. The dancer, who is of Moroccan origin and lives in France, will speak after the performance on Saturday.
?[Brilliant Corners] explores the forces, both mechanical and human, which generate the choreographic substance. The ever evolving structures are a direct manifestation of these forces and as such, hold revealing qualities and possible insights. Within the simplicity and clarity of a well-determined square of light, unfolds an ever-changing choreographic organism. An explosion of simultaneous ideas, Brilliant Corners functions as a seismograph of choreographic activity, tracking its vanishing structures and multiple perspectives, exposing both the fragility of the choreographic moment and its burning relevancy,? the Trafó says of the piece.
Trafó communications director Dóra Juhász called the piece a ?perfect example? of the ?pure dance? that defines the 200pc Dance programme.
Gat named the piece after the title of an album by jazz musician Thelonious Monk released in 1957.
?I feel this title is a beautiful example for the use of words as concrete matter. It cannot be understood verbally, yet it generates a clear sense of meaning,? Gat said of the piece on his website.
Monk?s music is not part of the score of the piece, but ?aspects of his music are very much present?, he added.
