En vie ... en ville
/ Da Motus! / Switzerland
by Antonio Bühler & Brigitte Meuwly

Da Motus! (da! - ponuditi, dati; motus - pokret) su 1987. osnovali priznati plesni umjetnici Antonio Bühler i Brigitte Meuwly. Grupa je gostovala na brojnim festivalima i kulturnim događanjima u preko 150 gradova i 36 država svijeta.

Inspirirana nježnim promišljanjem svijeta prirode njihova praksa uzima oblik studioznog koreografiranja radikalno kostimiranih tijela u organske instalacije na specifičnim lokacijama, koristeći hiperboličan i nestvaran riječnik.

Vrhunska, impresivna vizualna gramatika biva ispisana u nečujni geometrijski balet koji uključuje iznimnu simboliku, maštovitost i kontrolu.

Gipkost i preciznost dinamičnog stila skupine ne može biti kodirana kao tradicionalno kazalište, ples ili body-art. Prekoračenje artikulacije otvara pukotinu nekonvecionalnog i apsurdnog, beskompromisno razotkrivajući estetske norme kako bi prenijela važnost umjetničke poruke.

Pravi spoj mehaničkog s nabojem izvedbe. Umjetnička kritička intervencija u javnom prostoru kao model savršene usklađenosti, navodno usmjerene i animirane jedinstvenom i vrsnom predanošću, naoko ratobornom i hitnom, no na kraju burlesknom i dirljivom. Predstava propituje logiku otuđenih odnosa koju ljudska bića stvaraju u interakciji s urbanim okružjem.

Da Motus! (da! - to give, offer; motus - movement) was founded in 1987 by renowned dance artists Antonio Bühler and Brigitte Meuwly . The company has performed at various international festivals and major cultural events in more than 150 cities of 36 countries.

Inspired by a sensitive contemplation of nature their work takes the form of meticulously choreographing their dramatically costumed bodies into site-specific organic installations, using a continually innovative, highly gestural, hyperbolic and surreal vocabulary.

This cutting-edge, spectacular visual grammar is scripted into a silent geometrical ballet involving extreme metaphor, fantasy and control.

The supple plasticity and precise drill of the group's lively style cannot be coded as conventional theatre, dance or body art. The transgressive articulation fissures the categorical, embraces the absurd and relentlessly strips aesthetic norms to reveal an essential message.

A stark blend of the mechanical with the explosively intense, the artists' critical intervention in public space is a mode of perfected synchrony, apparently directed and energized by a unique outstanding will, seemingly martial and urgent, but finally burlesque and touching. The performance questions about the logic of the alienated relationships human beings create with the urban environment.
