Several works by William Forsythe are at the centre of the MAK’s cooperation with the ImPulsTanz – Vienna International Dance Festival. With his dance works, the US-American choreographer freed the practice of ballet from its identification with the classical repertoire and transformed it into a dynamic art form of the 21st century.
The interactive video installation City of Abstracts and the participatory pendulum labyrinth Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time, No. 2 will be on show at the MAK. In City of Abstracts, viewers’ movements are artistically distorted on a large LED screen, challenging their own perception. Nowhere and Everywhere at the Same Time, No. 2 is a participatory installation of swinging pendulums suspended from an automated grid mounted on the ceiling and set in motion. Visitors are invited to playfully dodge the unpredictable movements with different tempos and spatial contrasts and become part of the walk-in choreography.
