Sheik Yerbouti

And the prize for best Made in Japan choreography goes to (drum roll) Mette Ingvartsen. Her 50/50 solo performance is described as

…extreme and spectacular expressions as a physical practice rather than through psychological motivations. Movements deriving from clearly coded situations, like a rock concert, an opera or a circus number are processed until they obtain a certain kind of deformed expressivity. It looks like affects rather than emotions, except no one knows what affects look like…

And what better music is out there to epitomize a rock concert as “extreme and spectacular expression” than Made in Japan. How does it work for an avant-garde ballet? As difficult as it may be, try to keep an open mind and see for yourself (warning: the video is potentially not safe for work).

One this is for sure — you’ll never listen to that drum solo the same way again. 😉
