Dance and music Pol Pi. From an original choreography by Dore Hoyer (© Deutsches Tanzarchiv Köln) and an original music by Paul Hindemith. Dances transmission Martin Nachbar. Body painting Gwendalys Leriche.

Production NO DRAMA 

Executive production Latitudes Prod.


“Beauty is secondary” is one of the instructions that appears at the beginning of the fourth movement of the Sonata for Solo Viola, Op. 25 No. 1, by the German composer Paul Hindemith (1895–1963). It could well have been uttered by his compatriot, the Expressionist choreographer Dore Hoyer (1911–1967), creator of the dance cycle Afectos Humanos, on which Pol Pi has been working since 2014.

 

A musician before becoming a dancer, Pol Pi aims to create a dialogue between these two works that have shaped his career; both consist of five short solos that are as minimalist as they are expressive, composed by artists who, in the course of their careers, suffered the consequences of the Nazi regime.

Tenderness welcomes as many definitions as there are personal experiences of it, and in this piece two performer-choreographers and a performer-musician embark us upon a collective, experimental form of research into this anti-authoritarian motto. It leads to a transformation of ways of being together, but also of the different forms that representation can take.
