"harS" - choreography by Aydın Teker (2008)


"harS" by Aydın Teker was last night's wonderful discovery. It's a minimalist dance piece involving a harp, a dancer, and the silent void that surrounds them. Every sound, every move, every new discovery matters. Hints of imagery(some violent, some elegant) are scattered troughout but it's hard to find a center--assuming that it exists at all. The lack of narrative drive is also telling. Teker uses the intriguing imagery of a dancer and a harp as a starting point: The slowness of the piece leaves her audiance time to reflect, discover, ask questions of all kinds, and above all to meditate. Just like the dancer on the stage.
