Traces of Degas

Video Dance Installation at Haus Bastian in their exhibition Room 'VERSTÄRKER'

(01.06.2023 -31.12.2023)

A collaboration Project by Videographer Marco Baass & Choreographer / Dancer Ruben Reniers.

What movements are there in Edgar Degas's "Dancer Looking at the Sole of Her Right Foot" or Ferdinand Lepcke's "Bow-stretcher"? How can different works of art with movements be recreated and connected to each other?

Additional to the video dance installations, dancer and choreographer Ruben Reniers hosted a workshop serie that guided the participants to develop their own dance approaches. Bilawa Respati provided the musical accompaniment with electronic samples and sounds of traditional origin.
