Loud sound and strobe lights appear in ‘echoes’.

‘echoes’ by Ar Utke Ács and the artistic team is a choreographic total installation that is both a set design for the dancers and an independent audio-visual installation. Participants are invited to take part in a sensory and colourful experience in which sound, light and the performative elements interact. The audience is free to follow the dancers as they perform throughout in the installation. Dancers explore emotions and moods in time-based tableaux. The work asks: How do emotions act in choreography, and how are we ourselves choreographed by emotions? – hence the title ‘echoes’. Ar Utke Ács works with collective processes, in which familiar hierarchies are challenged. The artist embraces diversity in formats as well as  in the question of representation and accessibility on stage.
