Description
A collaboration between British director Fiona Jane Burgess and German choreographer Franka Marlene Foth, Versus documents two female dancers moving through the external corridors and open courtyards of the Hofgarten estate in Berlin, a modernist concrete maze.
Electronic composer Frank Bretschneider provides a futuristic soundtrack that exploits reversals, glitches and ambient sounds.
The choreography is concerned with the process of everyday life as a woman, a dancer, and a creative – impulsive and powerful, but also, at times, sloppy and slow. It’s a study of contrasts: sexy and ugly, heavy and light, strong and soft. It’s about trying to find balance and synchronicity accompanied by a characteristic tension lingering beneath the surface.
