Luminescent fabrics, humanoid shapes, and bright colours coalesce into landscapes that slowly unfold. These landscapes continuosly reshape and recompose themselves into new worlds. Suspended moments and installations of striking visual impact define Eszter Salamon's work, which invites our imagination to find meaning within them. Are they extraterrestrial creations, rituals of ancient civilizations, or projections from the future? While monuments are typically crafted from hard materials impervious to the scars of time, "living monuments" are thoughts that change form, exploring the relationships between past and future. With this performance, Salamon continues a decade-long series, this time featuring fourteen performers from The Norwegian National Company of Contemporary Dance.
The audience witnesses living works of art created before their eyes, tableaux from another world, another time. The interactions between the artists are no longer human. The bodies cross each other without touching, moving the entire room in slow motion, as if prisoners of a space-time rift.
