Formas Breves

Dancing future – 100 years of Bauhaus | Lia Rodrigues  

15 – 16 May 2019 | Potsdamer Tanztage 2019Dance / performance

Formas Breves is an imaginary place where the improbable meeting of two mythical artists takes place: Oskar Schlemmer (1888-1943), co-founder of the Bauhaus, and Italo Calvino (1923-1985), one of the greatest names in Italian literature. Together they share a common reflection on humankind and its future and an exploration of the structures behind artistic creation. Schlemmer dealt with the relationship of the body to geometry and space; Calvino with the structure of the text.
"The various sequences in this piece are characterised by a perfect balance between rest and movement (...): it is an overwhelming and possibly unrepeatable demonstration of what the body is and what it is capable of. Lia Rodrigues stays very close to Oskar Schlemmer thanks to the rigour, restraint and clarity of her Formas Breves..." (Jochen Schmidt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Avignon, 2 August 2002).
Formas Breves premiered in 2002 and was first presented at fabrik Potsdam in 2004. On the occasion of the Bauhaus year, Lia Rodrigues presents the piece for the first time in 10 years.
