Mutants in Music: I. Minimal Dominion

Mixed, glued, connected. As a multidisciplinary ensemble uBu plays with the connections between contemporary music and dance, with different mixing ratios, impact speeds and glueing surfaces. Collision, mutation, explosion.

In the three-part concert series "Mutants in Music", musicians, dancers and audience are confronted with the question of what power music exerts on the human body. Transformation, manipulation, cooperation.

In the first edition, "Mutants in Music: I. Minimal Dominion", two newly created works meet; one was created under choreographic dominance, the other under compositional dominance. Choreographer Naïma Mazic stages the playful search for a common language between music and dance as a flirtation. In his piece, the composer Ui-Kyung Lee focuses on the listening body as a medium and explores the musical reaction spaces of actors and audience.

In both pieces, dance and music seek and find each other's movement.
