breaking down boarders
hearing colors, seeing sounds or tasting shapes
“Drinking Air” is an Instant Composition piece performed by Quizzical Körper in collaboration with violinist Harald Kimmig as part of tanznetz | freiburg’s onCe Festival for Improvisation Freiburg 2019.
The main concept was synesthesia – the ability to hear colors, see sounds or taste shapes. One musician and three dancers composed instantaneously working with synesthetic abilities: The dancers attempted to see, feel and embody the sounds; the musician intended to hear, feel and transcribe the movement.
In this piece, dance and music were in a constant dialogue – sometimes in cooperation, sometimes in conflict – to create a multidimensional landscape which transcends our senses.
