Beatrix Joyce – Solo for M
“Solo for M” is a collaboration between dancer Marcos Nacar and choreographer/writer Beatrix Joyce.Sliding between documentary, memory and fiction, Marcos and Beatrix revisit moments and places from Marcos’ past, dancing landscapes of falling in love, clinging on to dear life, being struck by wonder, getting lost in unfamiliar towns and losing sleep to frumpy mattresses.
“Solo for M” has been performed once in 2024 in a casual setting at Kühlspot, Berlin. Now the artists would like to delve deeper into their research and take more time and space for the exploration and composition of landscapes.
Important questions are:
Who is the character of M? How can the format (of dialogue between Marcos and Beatrix) be best presented and refined? Aside from being a personal exploration, what other remarkable persons, artworks and/or current societal topics/issues does the work relate to? There is an interest to tie Marcos’ experiences in with stories of Catholic saints and martyrdom.
