JLP 2043

Comme un long interminable cri. This is what she answered when I asked her how a solo may sound that she would be dancing forever. JLP 2043 - a solo for Julie Laporte. She will be dancing it for the next 25 years. The solo unfolds its force over the duration of this lived time. It isn’t the euphoric intensity of the new, but the still and unexcited joy by gazing at newly discovered aspects of the old. There are rumours of the solo having an impact of cell rejuvenation on the dancer. Apparently, not only on her, but on everybody witnessing her dance it. Yet still, this wouldn’t be all too important. Based on studies of ancient Dao scriptures, JLP 2043 uses strategies of gradual disappearing, negation and affirmative withdrawal. It tells whispers of seizing futurity and how such an attempt will always be contingent. A tale of the relation between choreography and dance, of strategically soft solidarity in times of flexible mobile overstraining and of the love between dancer and choreographer.

As part of the festivities surrounding the beginning of the coming 25 years, two works of related positions are invited into JLP 2043: Hydrocommons by Riikka Tauriainen and Massage Sonore by NoMad Kollektiv
