Alex Baczynski-Jenkins is back in town! Fewer things make us happier than #culturescapes artists coming back. If you didn’t have a chance to see their mesmerizing performances in @kunsthallebasel during #culturescapes2019poland, don’t miss your chance now! Alex Baczynski-Jenkins does not choreograph performers, movements, or scenery. He choreographs relations and communication beyond words. In Untitled (Holding Horizon), performers move in and out, quicker or slower to the blaring beat. The darkness of the space envelopes them and unites with the audience. On the threshold of visibility and invisibility, a dizzying dynamic of collectivity, intimacy and dependence emerges. Over the course of three hours, during which the audience can come and go as they please, the performance develops a community-building and trance-like power through repetitive, slightly shifting rhythms and evokes changing associations: a ghostly gathering, a coming together in resistance or mourning, the faded memories of a rave. 🗓️ April 3-4, 19:00, Kaserne Basel @kasernebasel @baczynski.j 📸 Alex Baczynski-Jenkins.
