Myller
- Skånes Dansteater
The Jury’s Motivation
In Myller, choreographer Heidi Vierthaler brings together five dancers and a sea of beanbags to create a dark, dynamic and creative bustle. Through unexpected and idiosyncratic figures, close proximity to the audience and delicately nuanced lighting, the performance explores emotional states, risk-taking and challenges. The dancers meet, interact and move together within a constantly shifting spatial landscape that offers both tension and surprises.
In today’s fast-changing world, where uncertainty often shapes our reality, Myller reflects on how we adapt, connect, and create meaning together.
The dancers are constantly confronted with emerging landscapes, where various challenges and surprises push the group to find temporary solutions and binding agreements. This ongoing evolution reveals moments of strength and vulnerability, playfulness and conflict, risk and resilience. Inevitably, each dancer must then contribute and cooperate with the others to avoid being absorbed by the mutable landscape.
Even the young audience will have a chance to take the lead in a subsequent unfolding of the space. Through games and tasks, they too will face some of the challenges and collective strategies explored during the performance.
