Ivana Müller - Playing Ensemble Again and Again

It is the most prolonged bow ever. It lasts for more than an hour, because movements are extremely slow and the performers, encouraged by applause on tape, come back on several occasions. In the imagination it even covers an entire life, because the dancers/actors make large jumps in time in their thoughts and texts.

The six performers in Ivana Müller’s Playing Ensemble Again and Again play six performers who contemplate all sorts of things while saying goodbye to the audience – the performance they have just given, their career, their life. At first sight they form a homogenous ensemble: they are equally tall, wear the same everyday clothes and have pretty much the same experiences while on tour. And nevertheless, this unity is just appearance. Every slowed-down burst of breath, smile, glance, arm swing, nod or grasping of another’s hand looks different because no one’s physique is the same. On top of that, they give away a scale of emotions. Not only tension, passion, joy and pride, but also arrogance and jealousy, resignation and sorrow. It is the language of details, which requires precise looking and listening. This is rather difficult, but Müller gives the information in such small doses that one is completely sucked into her world. From the physical point of view apparently almost nothing and always the same happens – we travel around in words, memories and dreams of the future. That eternal smile on faces therefore says nothing about the thoughts behind it. The beauty behind it all is that, gradually, a touching image emerges – the image of a group of soul mates who are getting old and who have to say goodbye to their profession and the time spent together, to welcome loneliness that, in a way, was always there.

"The trio of Jef Neve, Piet Verbist en Teun Verbruggen play with an expansive attitude, but also showing post-modern signs, as they do not leave the path of mainstream, but still use unusual sound-making techniques, extreme contrasts in pace and dynamics"
