The
perceptible in the moment
That
Eva Lundqvist is one of Sweden's most distinctive choreographers was
demonstrated with the production Angel
landings
- Foghorn (September 29, 2004). The four dancers remain, maintaining their
separateness, equally strong parts of the strictly abstract choreography.
Lundqvist's choreographic language has a breathless exactness and
uncompromising quality - and the dancers answer the demands fully. Through her
ability to build up a common conviction together with her dancers, the
choreography brings the dancers to a level beyond themselves so that the dance
occasionally reaches a ritual, almost trancelike, quality. In the moment that
Ilkka Volanen's lighting design penetrates and shines through the movement,
a singular work is created in which the elements as well as the flow reach a
significance that makes them perceptible depending on how one looks at them.
This is a production to return to again and again, a production that doesn't
let the observer feel done with it.
