A guest choreography by Lisi Estaras for the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance (SEAD<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart is the muscle
we like to work out.
The real world doesn\u2019t interest me
I have this theatre inside my head
I make a list
I wander through
I shift
You are my wonderland
Invisible in the garden
Let me shout the rain
I\u2019m not saying more
bring the glasses
like ageless tears
as we drown
we know. <\/em>

The German dancer, cabaret performer and actress Valeska Gert, who lived from 1892 to 1978, was one of the most influential artists of her generation. Similarly radical and unconventional work was also produced by the art brut movement. These two strong artistic signatures provide the inspiration for the choreographer Lisi Estaras and the BODHI PROJECT\u2019s six person ensemble in \u200bNo Human No Cry!<\/em>. \u200b These raw art forms, unpolished by academic conventions, open up perspectives on an intuitive creativity whose allure is based on sensitivity and exuberance.

Estaras\u2019 choreographic process centers on the physicality of intense emotions and on the absurdity of human attempts to overcome these. This is realized in a dance of compelling \u201crawness\u201d with a physical vocabulary packed with energy, expressive miming and theatrical gestures. The original music by Giacinto Scelsi and Pierre Henry plays a key role in \u200bNo Human No Cry!<\/em> \u200b, linking the soundscape and composition in an evocative manner.
