Performance by Lucinda Childs & Dance On Ensemble

On four summer evenings, Radialsystem presents the world premiere of “STEIN”, the new choreography by legendary New York dance icon Lucinda Childs and the Dance On Ensemble. Childs, as well as artist Hans Peter Kuhn and award winning dancer and choreographer Miki Orihara use as the point of departure for their artistic reflexion a text by writer Gertrude Stein – one of the first women of classical literary modernism. Artist and composer Hans Peter Kuhn designs video pieces for the stage, accompanied by a sound composition based around noises and piano improvisation. “STEIN” is the second production by the Dance On Ensemble in their series “Encounters”, in which choreographers themselves take to the stage and develop a choreography together with dancers from the ensemble. The evening opens with three works from the 1970s by Lucinda Childs – Untitled Trio, Radial Courses, and Interior Drama – performed by the Dance On Ensemble.
