REVERB/DUCTUS
KINESTHETIC PROJECT/Arabesque Ballet (Bulgaria)
27 SEPT (SUN) 20:00, SOFIA THEATER
Reverb (The Body in Crisis). In this project the Wound-Body is in search of its images through the dance. The Wound-Body is the body of crisis. It is the state where people discover the world of flesh and lose their bounds by sinking into that world – resounding bodies which reverberate upon each other. They infect each other with movement which creates an endless external acoustics of the body. Re-echoing massive bodies – bodies without a beginning and without an end, bodies from which the man has been chased away.
Ductus (A Guide to Riding Dead Horses) presents the comprehended notion of the human body in a process of disintegration to its components, to particular functions, in search of new associations, creating new havens of desire.
Although being mechanical in their nature the convergences of the two restless bodies are well desired – as a result they form together a new organism, an odd physical complex – no longer the body of a man, nor the body of a horse. This is a process which has started in a state of extreme devotion, a dehumanizing obsession which gradually replaces reality with an unnatural partnership.
Ductus is the first part of a long-term project devoted exclusively to solo performances. Part two is already in progress – it investigates the consequences of the meeting between St. Sebastian and Japanese writer Yukio Mishima in the body of the young dancer of Arabesque Ballet Valeri Milenkov.

Kinesthetic Project is a group of young dance professionals and creative partners who already have on record a couple of internationally acclaimed performances and one Sofia Dance Week. They are choreographers Violeta Vitanova and Stanislav Genadiev, visual artist Miroslav Yordanov, set designer Ognyana Serafimova – Peneva and cultural studies graduate Diana Papazova. Kinesthetic Project was founed in 2006. Vitanova and Genadiev were just back from Switzerland and the troupe of Linga dance company. For their first independent project – the multimedia performance Imago – they gathered the above-mentioned crew and overnight turned into “the big hopes of Bulgarian contemporary dance”. After Sofia Dance Week 2008, where they presented Imago and Void, they have appeared at Masdanza (Spain), Tanec Praha (Czech Republic) and Balkan Dance Platform (Serbia). Their plans for the future include visual art projects as well as dance.
