Mono.Kultur #41 – Meg Stuart
“I have always felt very comfortable with being upside down, off balance, and ungrounded when I am dancing.”
Delirious, vulnerable bodies running, stumbling, sliding from ramps, crashing into each other in full flight; whirling dancers in states of trance and abandon; traces of patterns emerging and dissolving: the work of American choreographer and dancer Meg Stuart is an enigmatic and dazzling experience of dance as a multisensory attack, distilling harmony out of chaos, grace out of roughness, moments of intensity out of daily rituals and gestures.
With mono.kultur, Meg Stuart talked about her first physical memories, the healing power of dancing and the thrill of disorientation.
Following Meg Stuart’s interest in abundance and complexity, the design discards all notions of top or bottom, left or right, with text and images set in different and ever-changing directions. A magazine as a physical object that wants to be handled and turned. Reading as a dance.
