Inspired by the Japanese manga “Furari” by Jirō Taniguchi, Kaze to Arashi is an innovative collaboration between choreographer Isabella Soupart, composer and pianist David Achenberg, YouTuber Rambalac and dancer-performer Marita Schwanke. A powerful yet sensitive production that combines dance, sound installation, live piano and video art, offering new and contanstly reinvented dance sequences.
Inspired by the Japanese concept of Kintsugi, which celebrates beauty through imperfection, choreographer Isabella Soupart invites composer Antoine Pierre to collaborate on her new production for the 2024 Artonov Festival. This collaboration results in an innovative musical work where French dancer-performer Elsa Tagawa interacts live with Antoine Pierre on drums, blending acoustic drums, electronic elements, and sound samples. Together, they create a unique artistic experience combining dance and live music.
Isabella Soupart and musical dramaturge Guy Vandromme explore in this project the creative, social, and multicultural possibilities of acoustic ecology and slowness through movement and sound. “In Landscape” aims to explore new listening experiences by integrating new dance formats. These mediums seek to transform the perception of time and view space as a malleable environment. Compositions by the international group of composers/performers Wandelweiser, including Michael Pisaro, Craig Shepard, Jürg Frey, Antoine Beuger, Carla Inderhees, Eva-Maria Houben, and Bruno Duplant, influence the choreographic and musical writing of the project.
