Cecilia Xuetong Feng – Windy Days
Windy Days is a dance-theater performance that reveals the individual stories hidden within the storms of history. The moment of wind becomes a metaphor for dissolving the common language on the surface and revealing individual stories.
Wind brings tangibility to the space we share, as well as the complexity of relationships between bodies and space. On stage, two performers generate dynamics through scores and games, which then expand into an atmospheric presence that takes over their movements. The harmonium fills the space with air and breath. Voice becomes a shared entity that breathes the identities of the absent into the present bodies, while transforming the stage into other places and times.
The performance is created with and performed by Alexz Grieco and Chelsea Reichert, with compositions and live music by Marta Talvet. Kristóf Siklósi generously contributed to the initial research process.
