Cannstatter Zeitung
With gratifying directness and an appealing absence of pretension, this piece (concept by Sven Sören Beyer and Christiane Neudecker) confirms what everyone, at bottom, already knows: that in our world, permeated as it is by artificiality, not everything is as or what it seems. With virtuoso skill, two female dancers (Lydia Klement and Emily Fernandez) network a wide-ranging gestural vocabulary with projected images and really produced and electronically processed sounds. In the accompanying sounds (Markus Hauke), percussive acts merge with the products of electronic alteration to the point that one can no longer tell them apart. In the same way, the dancers are joined by artificial images, which distort, multiply, and reproduce in time delay what the dancers themselves are actually doing on stage. The stage in turn is filled with colors, forms, numbers, and letters. The rhythm of spoken sentences provides the physical movements with a regular pattern. And in a little less than an hour, the compression of our bewildering reality into a well-made multimedia production is already past.
