CYBORG’S HERITAGE is an ongoing performative research by Burkhard Körner and Marc Philipp Gabriel. Both of us have backgrounds in classical music and are recent graduates from experimental choreography schools (SNDO Amsterdam / HZT Berlin).

The idea for CYBORG’S HERITAGE grew out of an immense curiosity for what would happen if the specific modes and qualities of traditional western music making and the infinite possibilities and reflective processes of contemporary performance making start to inform each other: singing baroque music as part of a dance performance. What seems simple and obvious at first has undergone a crucial development that goes deeper than the superficial confrontation of both worlds. We are insisting on revealing the concepts, sub-layers, emotions, codes, conventions, taboos, patterns, mechanisms, social implications and relationships of each world, in order to explore what these inner layers can contribute to each other.

Starting from dissecting a vocal duet by Claudio Monteverdi and exploring physical approaches derived from partnering and contact improvisation, combined with pixelated full body suits, we began to summon a post-human digital body with permeable borders and fading individualities. We started exploring approaches derived from partnering and contact improvisation (in particular the symmetry practice of Jess Curtis and Maria F. Scaroni). Playing with modes of perception, flatness and universality on the visual level, the vocal level operates with individual timbres, social communication and emotional exchange between the two performers and the audience, moving on a fine line between comedy and seriousness.
We are working on the physicality of a post-human body, a body that becomes object, that loses individuality and is seemingly entangled with the world of other beings. An incomplete organism. A post-identity-body that is yet pierced by its vocal heritage.

B: It will be our first creation after graduating from choreography

M: It’s not fitting in.

B: What do you need to know?

M: It is digging into our togetherness.

B: Can you see the thing which is so inherent for us?

M: It will be the non-human sounding of a butterfly.

B: What if a tone can tell more than a movement?

M: It is floating in delirium.

B: I think this is a piece which wants to bridge what seems to be opposite.

M: It is an urban dirty queer ritual club.

B: Is this a human drama or an expression of contemporaneity?

M: It is saying yes.

B: It is an encounter of two Germans who are not where they come from.

M: It is a caterpillar looking for transformation.

B: It wants to channel our desire for music into contemporary performance.

M: It is already there.

SHAVE THAT GUMMI (FULL VIDEO)

shavethatgummi_144p

SHAVE THAT GUMMI is an international choreographic research that unleashes between innumerable poles of difference.

How can we breathe under all the highly charged misconceptions that have been cast onto us in past and present times? Coming from two different continents, we are still chewing on the same piece of gum. F*ck. Being labelled before birth, we strive to move away from preconceived identities, longing for situations that are re-negotiated in every moment. Two bodies flying through their extremities, slurping, spitting, slicing, deflecting and avoiding one another – breathing in as two and exhaling as one.

SHAVE THAT GUMMI is a dance performance duet moving between ornamenting and defacing the human body as an object. A precarious duet of counter-colonialization. A dual player game, a pas-de-deux, a dog fight, a futuristic binary. Two opposites migrating into each other’s territories. SHAVE THAT GUMMI is pulling the audience into a game of projections, stripping multiple layers of conformity off the performing body.

ORBIS TERTIUS

CASA MARZIANO presents ORBIS TERTIUS

Eine choreografierte Klang-Reise durch das Aufbau Haus am Moritzplatz.
A choreographic sound walk through the Aufbau Haus building on Moritzplatz.

ORBIS TERTIUS –  ist eine „Kunst der Anordnung“ einer Konspiration von Künstlern unter Leitung von Matteo Marziano Graziano (Choreograf/Filmemacher) und frei inspiriert durch die Kurzgeschichte: Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius vom argentinischen Schriftsteller Jorge Luis Borges. Du wirst auf eine Reise durch das Aufbau-Haus am Moritzplatz geschickt. Von Nischen im Fundament des Hauses bis hoch über den Wolken betrittst du unterschiedliche Welten, die sich in der besonderen Architektur des Hauses eingenistet haben. Figuren, die aus dem Dunkel treten und in den Rissen der Wände verschwinden. Dort lösen sich die Regeln von Logik und Geometrie auf. Das Fluide wird scharfgestellt. Tanz trifft Baukunst, Töne werden Konstruktion. Deine Persönlichkeit ist kein Zustand, sondern Handeln.

In seinen etwas vertrackten Fiktionen, Über die Strenge der Wissenschaft schildert Jorge Luis Borges die kartographische Vermessung eines Gebietes, die, auf der Suche nach größtmöglicher Genauigkeit, zu immer größeren Karten führt, welche auch die kleinsten Details enthalten sollten. Dennoch bleiben aber auf jeder Karte Lücken, Restzonen des Verfügbaren, in denen die Wirklichkeit gegen ihre völlige Übertragung in die kartierte Fläche verweigert. Vor diesem Fakt gestellt bleibt einen Pfad zu gehen, sich seinen eigenen Pfad/Karte durch das Dickicht der Räumlichkeiten zu zeichnen oder zu bahnen.

BUILT TO BLAST (audio documentation)

bauhaus_lamp_FLIPBOOK_transparent400px

BUILT TO BLAST

is a one-on-one performance-situation. A Rendezvous with a room. For about 15 minutes. An intimate encounter of non-human and human, aiming to blur the distinction between those two. Mind-blowing, nerve-racking, seducing. It is fucking educational. For everyone / everything involved.

BUILT TO BLAST is a nut-cracker, a bottle opener of a performance, an implant designed to unveil the being of a room – casting light on questions that we didn’t care or dare to ask. It’s a hardly noticeable apparatus, a gadget from another spacetime mattering, a prosthesis, a true cyborg, a cybernetic organism detached from the human body. It lends a room a voice, agency to speak, to suffer, to love, to crab, to crave, to share, to be. It is speeding up the slowness of things and slowing down the speed of humans to facilitate a meeting somewhere in between. A slow dance speed-date of one matter being and one human being. It is first-hand experience with the other. Challenging for both sides, BUILT TO BLAST dismantles and enforces expectations that none of us knew we had.

The installation has been performed for about 40 individuals in Berlin in 2015 and is since waiting to be implanted in new exciting spaces.

Actually… I am not. What are you made of?

– Sorry?

(switching to female voice) What are you made of?

(switching to male voice) You know, I think we are both made of the same stuff. I am you, you are me. Stardust. No?

– Are you sure?

No.

– (chuckles)

That’s what I think.

(laughs) Ok.

Let’s celebrate that

(laughs more)

Imagine!
