TECTONIC is a choreographic work on the visible and invisible forces that shape and reshape our landscapes.
Set in a kinetic scenography of metal plates, with original music that blends field recordings and electronic textures, and refractive lights that alter perception, the work situates the dancer’s body as part of a larger ecology of forces in motion.
In tune with the deep vibrations and pulsation of the earth, the body morphs through states of compression, release, friction and gliding.
In an alternation of transient and enduring patterns that blur the boundaries between human, nature and technology, TECTONIC invites us to perceive and move with the deep rhythms of the world.”
ARTIST TALK Januar 29 / How to attune one´s body to the forces of the earth
We invite you to stay for an artist talk after the performance with choreographer and dancer Mirko Guido in dialogue with Linus Gratte, a Paris-based curator working in the intersection of dance, performance, visual art, and critical discourse.
In this talk, choreographer Mirko Guido in discussion with curator Linus Gratte invites the audience to discover the experimental process that led up to the creation of TECTONIC and how to attune one’s body to the forces of the earth. Field excursions, including a geological exploration in Iceland, original sound recordings and stories from the work will be shared in the heart of the stage space.
The talk will be in English and take place in Hallen. Duration is approx. 30 min.
Mirko Guido
His artistic practice is grounded in a physical and conceptual inquiry into the co-agency between body, space, and material things. Working across theatres, museums, and public spaces, he frames choreography as a system of responsiveness — a space to question the human subject’s position within broader physical and conceptual landscapes, where dance becomes a medium to re-perceive our entanglement with the world. Former dancer at Cullberg Ballet, he holds a master’s degree in New Performative Practices from Stockholm University of the Arts, and is an associated artist at Bora Bora.
