The Geometry of a Fall

At the Peace Memorial and an observation tower at Cerje, the production Borderless Body charted an artistic trace which this time leads deeper into the inner landscape of the Karst – into a dialogue with the poet of this space, Srečko Kosovel. The Geometry of a Fall is a dance performance that explores Kosovel’s cognitive and emotional side, it is a dive into the inner architecture of the body and society. The fragmentary structure is shaped into a score, based on the impulse and the intertwining of contemporary and urban movement that destroys the established structures and opens the space of collective dynamics. The body becomes a tool to explore the authentic expression in a time when the society decomposes and recomposes into new forms.

The Geometry of a Fall continues the MN Dance Company’s mission – connecting dance to literature, theatre, community and global artistic context. The production intertwines the intimate and the communal; the physical and the social, and realises the vision of modern dance as a space of reaching beyond borders and creating new communities, and introduces the poet in a contemporary, authorial and interdisciplinary language.

Kosovel’s poetry, to us, is movement. By dancing, we wish to translate the movement into the body, so that we can feel the rhythm of his mind.
