Gobi Dance Company (Mađarska) – Freestyle

Djela Rite Góbi jednako su obilježena hrabrim eksperimentiranjem i pažljivo planiranim koreografijama. Istaknute značajke njezinog stila su geometrija, minimalizam i težnja ka redukciji. Njezina najnovija produkcija otvara vrata u svijet razigranog muškarca.
Igralište je animirano fizičkom prisutnošću i interakcijom dva lika. Suigrači reagiraju jedni na druge dok su uključeni u intenzivnu akciju: trče, skaču, plivaju, nalaze se ispod ili iznad vode. Ipak, ovo natjecanje nije brzina ili pobjeda. Harmonični ili neharmonični odgovori na misteriozne tjelesne znakove drugog natjecatelja (suljudi): oni su odgovorni za osjećaj natjecanja, to je pravi cilj tjelesnog natjecanja. Ovaj put sudionici se bore sa svojim tijelima, a ne s nekim drugim.
“Možda ima nečeg simptomatičnog u tome što je najkarakterističnije obilježje plešućih tijela plivačka kapa, koja tvori jednoličnu-pravilnu sferu glava i svodi pojedinačno lice na minimum. Pravi pogodak! Podsjeća me na “umjetne figure” Oskara Schlemmera: kao da možemo vidjeti ironične odraze uzvišene kazališne utopije stogodišnjeg Bauhausa ispred Freestyleovih plivača koji mijenjaju formu. Puristička estetika konstruktivističke scene i tadašnje marionete suprotstavila se psihologizmu zapanjujuće građanske glume – u ime budućnosti. Teško mogu vjerovati da bi se takvo što promijenilo u glavi Góbi Rite. Ali čak bi se i igra riječi u naslovu mogla rimovati s progresivnom tradicijom: najbrže se krećete ako slobodno birate strogost svog stila. ”- András Rényi, Színház

Rita Góbi’s works are equally marked by brave experimentation and carefully planned choreographies. The salient features of her style are geometry, minimalism, and a drive towards reduction. Her most recent production opens a door onto the world of playful man.
The playing field is animated by the physical presence and interaction of two characters. The playfellows react to each other while engaging in intense action: running, jumping, swimming, being under or above the water. Yet this competition is not about speed or winning. Harmonic or disharmonic responses to the mysterious body signs of the other contestant (fellow human): these are responsible for the sense of competition, these are the real goal of the body contest. This time, the participants contend with their own bodies, rather than with someone else.
“There may be something symptomatic in that the most characteristic feature of the dancing bodies is the swimming cap, which forms a uniform-regular sphere of the heads and reduces the individual face to a minimum. A real hit! It reminds me of Oskar Schlemmer’s “artificial figures”: as if we could see the ironic reflections of the sublime theatrical utopia of the hundred-year-old Bauhaus in front of Freestyle’s form-changing swimmers. The purist aesthetics of the constructivist scene and the marionette at the time opposed the psychologicalism of mind-boggling bourgeois acting – in the name of the future. I can hardly believe that such a thing would have turned in Góbi Rita’s mind. But even the pun in the title could rhyme with the progressive tradition: you move fastest if you are free to choose the rigor of your style. ”- András Rényi, Színház
