What is the driving force behind a hybrid organism of man and machine? VIS MOTRIX (Latin: the moving force), created by the Bonn-based company Cocoon Dance is the second part of a trilogy on the "unthought" body. Based on the dance techniques of breaking and krumping, choreographer Rafaële Giovanola explores how bodies can be perceived in a "post-human" way. The dancers move through the room with dazzling rigor, as if they came from another world. Their bodies are tense, as if wanting to deflect an invisible electrical energy. The upper body and hips connect like hinges, holding them down to the ground. They begin to dominate the flow of energy in constantly changing formations. Bizarre and fascinating structures emerge that evoke tribal dances and rites: transhumanism as a traumatic round dance that connects with the subconscious mind. VIS MOTRIX by Cocoon Dance is an impressive female counterpart to the preceding production MOMENTUM which featured three male dancers.
