KONCENTRAT
FLOE

Special thanks to Staromiejski Cultural Centre for help with realisation of projects prepared by Artistic Group Koncentrat.

The theme of the spectacle is melting of ice, the very first movements breaking the stillness, breaking of ice. Awakening of suspended energy. The eruption of puryfying power.

The process begins almost unnoticed. Everything is dead calm. Ice plate slowly begins to crush. Melting ice takes everything redundant. Water rises step by step gently turning into mild garrulous stacatto gradually bursting into uncontroled chaos, vortex, in the end becoming a violent stream, a waterfall. It scares because it possess the presences of destruction. Finally it appears that it is necessary for the rebirth. Vital and desired.

FLOE is not a choreographic solo however there is only one dancer performing. It is a creation based on movement within space, light and sound. It is a living image spread in time.

The method of working is stretched between exploring the essence of every single element and finding their connections. Dance, sound and light are equally important to us. They flow in a parallel and independant way mingling together at the same time. This is why we decided to choose a Swiss artist, Nicole Seiler for the artistic manager of the project. She has been exploring these areas and scenic connections between them. Final artistic decisions are to close all the elements into a well balanced, ascetic and abstract unity. The story of a breaking ice layer.

Monumental musical constructions of Jon Leifs, an Icelandic composer, observations of nature and sensuous experiences were our inspiration while creating the world of the spectacle. However they might not be directly found in it.
