DUO PARA ELLA >>> COMIDA PARA DOS
Dance - and Videoproduction / Solo 2003-2004

1st Price SoloChoreography at the 9. International Contemporary Dance Festival of the Canary Islands "Masdanza"

duo para ella impressively danced by Helena Arenbergerova and directed by the Austrian Choreographer Helene Weinzierl, plays with elements of waiting and expectation. A dinner is beeing prepared. The waiting for the imaginary guest begins. The watcher of the door becomes the guardian of time. Joyful anticipation turns into impatience and desperation and finally: Relief upon of the arrival of the guest. (Salzburger Nachrichten U. Schupfer)



The syntax of movement was developed as a duet and performed as a solo on stage. In this stylistic elements, sequences of movement and images emerge.
This particular approach brings intersting and abstract sequences of movements and images to the eyes of the spectators: a reflection of split dancers who try to simplify things and bring both original imaginary personalities into harmony.
