Winner Jury Prize HAU - 100° Berlin

Concept, choreography, performance: Barbara Berti

Where do we come from?  From a hidden energy that is so close to our reality, but doesn’t belong to our dimension? It’s not just spirituality, it is so concrete sometimes that all the physical world disappears and I enter the microcosm, and float towards the sky.

Working with visible and invisible things. At first there was a point, flowing without decisions. Then someone called it ‘shape’ and a separation occurred. Infinite numbers. I started to fly, but I was visible, too visible. Confusion. I fail. Many identities at the same time. Silence — the space above me. Tilting my head up 2cm, my focus blurred. I am not attached to any material things, I think. Then it all becomes an explosion. The point is, how long? Almost here. Towards the stars again. Emphasizing one point and all the possible volumes accessible from my body-mind. Glitter on my shape. Still not here.
