att att*
Indefinite number of uncertain figures describes foreign moves with meticulous care. But get transfixed with the unspoken and end up tracing no one’s uncertainty. Still, where no one body is embodied and no clear meaning is exposed, other figures and narratives come to display, whereby ambiguity is allowed to emerge. In a ragbag that belong to no one, by a rap-speedy plethora of hyperclear non-owned moves. Performed by a pack of spineless speech-machines with inexplicable bad posture, silently chatting with unspeakable precision. Up close, several miles afar.
This choreography is brought to display by a series of transpositions of set movement sequences, whereby anthropomorphic dancing figures devote themselves to absolute accuracy of description by resisting interpretation and otherwise seizing strategies – and whilst they dance with unconditional loyalty to the given, they engraft themselves into other places. We see a choreography that is a multiplicity of specific narratives, perceived and exposed yet never seized. For us neither to understand, nor ever to possess, rather to recognize and respond to – and immediately let go of.
*The title att att is taken from Johan Jönson’s text Att att dröngrajma, a political essay in the format of a poetic mono-dialog, from which Cristina Caprioli, ccap and Johan Jönson have traced The Piece, Other Pieces, 60Pieces, the att att series and several, still on-going choreographic enterprises.
