Witness

2024

  

Witness is a piece for 6 dancers and a recorded female voice. Set in the working studio of Ballett Chemnitz, the audience is invited to get an insight into the “behind the scene” of the creative process. This piece is evidence for the meeting between freelance choreographer May Zarhy and the dancers from the Ballet company. The dancers’ movements in the piece focus on sensing and feeling each other, while describing their experience through their movements and reaching out for contact with the others. They move while remembering a movement that they’ve done before, and imagining what it could be.
Witness proposes the audience to experience a closer look on the dance that unfolds. In fact, it  proposes the public to “witness” rather than to “view” the piece.
