The Videoplanet Orchestrated Incidence / Being shows from a bird's eye view stylized choreographies of people in ornaments. In repeating choreographies the dancers form letters that are combined into words and poetic statements in postproduction. In this visual language scenes are created in which crowds of people move in abstract kaleidoscopic patterns, become part of a uniform clad, synchronized mass and arrange themselves into forms and shapes.
The dance recreates lyrical wordplay with ease and forms poetic statements about the four seasons. This turns into an absurd cycle, catching its own tail, within which each element appears to be in danger at all times. These elements are dependent on one another, influence each other, the absence of a single element can cause a short circuit of the entire cycle.
Orchestrated Incidence / Being is about critical mass, about the power of a common action.

 

There is no fall when the leaves stick to the trees.

There is no winter when the wind stops to breathe.

There is no spring when the bees leave the flowers.

There is no summer when there is no spring.
