INHABITED GEOMETRY 

In a black and white space, the delicate and clearly defined contours of six dancers engender rapidly flowing movements to create a highly elaborate universe. Inhabited Geometry generates spaces that evoke both home and homeland, but which also make room for individuality, friction and conflict. The multimedia design compresses and layers the choreography using cinematic spaces, allowing the dancers to merge with the transient imagery and engage with the idea of ’home’ simultaneously as a tangible place and a place of dreams. Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of Space, the piece uses Bharatnatyam as a metaphor for architectural spaces waiting to be inhabited!

This is the premiere of the extended version of the original piece which was created in 2010 with the support of Goethe-Institut/ Max Mueller Bhavan. This performance will be followed by a 6-city tour in Switzerland as part of Dance Festival Steps between 25 April- 6 May 2014.
