An Evening of Winds: The Immigrant + Windy Days
About this Event
Act 1
Improvised Piano Score for The Immigrant (1917)
by Omer Gottesfeld
Act 2
Dance Performance Windy Days
The inspiration for Windy Days begins in the obscure moments when oppression is revealed within the storms of history, like a breath of wind dissolving what blocks our view and revealing unvoiced or unseen individual stories. The work commemorates those who disappeared, invoking historical dances of emancipation and remembrance such as Cueca Sola on Plaza de Mayo.
Windy Days unfolds in seven fragments, drawing on folk elements, oscillating between chaos and order, each initiated with a game rule. Like passing days, these fragments contain the moments when a social structure emerges and then fails, as is inevitable with time. Does chaos emancipate us from order, or vice versa?
At Hošek Contemporary, a boat floating on the Spree, the river gives tangible presence to the wind and the space we share, as disembodied voices from far away and long before are brought forth by the performers in an act of remembering.
After all, we are all human in the hurricane.
