The audiovisual installation “For iTernity” takes the iconic ballet solo The Dying Swan as its starting point and translates its motivation into a contemporary, interactive visual language. The projections on the venue are only visible in fragments and the motifs are only revealed with the help of special discs that visitors receive at the entrance. Alone, the view remains limited; the complete picture only emerges in the community.
The installation is accompanied by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem“, interpreted by Californian YouTube vlogger Trisha Paytas which results into a deliberate clash between classical music tradition and digital pop culture.
“For iTernity“ is inspired by the emergence and impact of virtual worlds. The internet enables apparent omnipresence, but our visibility remains tied to screens.
The German-Dutch choreographer Katja Heitmann works at the interface of dance, visual art and installation performance. In her works, she examines existential questions: What moves people in the digital age, both in physical and virtual space?
Katja Heitmann was honoured with the Dutch Dance Days Award in 2016 for her innovative approach.
