mono.kultur #41, Meg Stuart

Meg Stuart's work is located at the vanishing point where dance meets visual arts. It is informed and transformed by extensive collaborations, where videos, costumes, music and stage design not only contribute to the choreography, but share the stage as sparring partners, merging into one quivering, fragile composition. As such, Meg Stuart's work is essentially about exposure - not only in a physical sense, where structures hidden behind the curtains are pushed into the spotlight, or common movements analysed, fragmented and distorted, but also by challenging our notions of time, energy, and human interaction.
