RUDI VAN DER MERWE & BÉATRICE GRAF
TROPHÉE

A visual/choreographic work of art set in a shooting range that tells about hunting, conquests and military tradition.

This performance takes place in a shooting range: The audience stands in the shooter’s spot and three dancers stand where the targets should be, at a distance of 300 metres. What happens far away slowly comes closer, as if zooming in on the dancers. Topics focus on hunting, conquests, women as prey and trophies. Finely balancing movement, sound and images,Trophée is a composition as baroque as it is martial.
