“Chaconne”
Choreography and Performance: Marie Elise Hufnagel
Music by J.S Bach
Music Arrangement: Gregor Fussenegger and Ashley do Rego
Camera/Editing: bernau-photography
„Chaconne" investigates transformational processes of grief and the embodiment of emergent feelings associated with the emotion: denial. functioning. continuation. exhaustion. deep sorrow. suppression. recurrence. striving for normality. immobility. anger. hope. idealization. liberation.'
In the choreography as well as in the music, grief is divided into three parts: grief, hope, and peace and is being interpreted by the involving artists in the piece.
The choreography aims to take Bach’s famous artwork into a contemporary context by arranging the music, adding electronic sounds, and interpreting the work into contemporary dance.
