Battle of Fishes

Six female bodies are suspended in space; they detect, meet and touch, dancing a light dance. Stop motion creates the illusion of the bodies’ oscillation in the air, in an attempt to capture deviation and resistance to gravity. “Battle of Fishes” is an assemblage of snapshots, dislocated maps, technologies and bodies, rhythms and broken locations.

“Battle of Fishes” was created within the context of the video dance festival “Miniatures for Revolution” which is a production of the GNO Learning & Participation Department. Inspired by the idea of revolution, five young composers and five young choreographers worked together to create short music and dance works, the Miniatures.
