Each choreography is, in a sense, a story of the body that forms it. The process is movement itself, the first dance of the day, still unknown, emerging as a pulse. Such procedure-on-its-way-to-form is the central idea of this work: as an unusual architecture that constructs and deconstructs, a perpetual continuum. The dancers create and erase each movement’s segment in an endless accumulation while lingering in the interstices of movement and music. Such interstitial spaces are in return opened by Vinko Globokar’s composition, which is in this case much more than just a music template. Music is here a mediator and an initiator. The dance builds itself forward upon the music, fractures itself into its own specific architecture. The music is per-formed and the dance is per-formed: each within its own discipline and the flight from it: a dialogue that takes place in the detail of every movement, every sound, and every breath, circulating the internal and the external. Movements swell and are swept away, become visible or invisible, and are then assembled into structure. This piece thus is a dance concert, a ballet concert, and a concert-concert, that can begin at any point and end in any silence.

Commissioned by the Ensemble for Contemporary Music Cantus. The composition for chamber ensemble titled Kaleidoskop im Nebel was created by the composer and trombonist Vinko Globokar. Maestro Globokar conducted his composition in person, guiding the Ensemble through this complex, robust experimental, and improvisational musical score.
