The Nikel Project - songs & poems

2012

The Nikel Project is a collaboration of two contemporary art ensembles: MAMAZA – a choreographers’ collective trio: Ioannis Mandafounis, Fabrice Mazliah, May Zarhy and Ensemble Nikel – a contemporary music quartet directed by Yaron Deutsch. Both ensembles join in to create a third entity: one that is neither Dance nor Music, but rather a fusion of the two.

Composing actions or choreographing sounds, the piece creates synesthetic experiences that are realized in the space. The shared work explores the meeting, transformation, and clashing of that which is invisible - the score and its manifestation on stage.

Conceived and staged by:

MAMAZA in collaboration with the Ensemble Nikel

Performed by:

Ioannis Mandafounis, Fabrice Mazliah, May Zarhy, Yaron Deutsch, Reto Staub.
