About
The performance Perspective’s Gravity is the second part of the author's second trilogy. The trilogy deals with the interconnectedness, interrelation and interplay of all organic and inorganic environments. After the first performance in the series, entitled Etude for prepared piano and rope, where the artist created music on a prepared piano through aerial acrobatics and manipulation of an aerial rope, in the second part of the trilogy, she presents Perspective’s Gravity, a work inspired by the first performance, which also includes three parts. Manipulation and thus (co)influence is shifted from the aerial rope to the performer’s body itself, which directly influences and changes the music through movement (via a sensor attached to the body and a construction for aerial acrobatics). In the first part of the performance, the attentive listener can thus hear the manipulated music that Morton Feldman has named For John Cage, which the artist and mover completely transforms with her movement, creating a new sonic landscape.
Through a creative exploration of aerial acrobatics the contemporary-circus performance Perspective’s Gravity subtly explores the questions of changing our perspective. In this it draws on content from authors who had worked on the subject in the past. According to Raoul Vaningham, for example, the very moment of creative spontaneity is "the smallest possible manifestation of a reversal of perspective".
The performance won the award Urbana Ljubljana at the Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival
