With «Sekunden später... zog sich die Gestalt in die Schatten zurück» Nicole Seiler continues her exploration of danced language and our memory of movement. In a set that is as minimal as it is imposing, two performers and their shadows – created through 3D video technology – lead the audience into a poetic spatial-temporal spiral in which reality, time and memory form a single entity. After the shadow play in «Wilis» (2014), «Sekunden später…» illustrates the following observation: when we watch a performance we won’t see the same things nor will we have the same memories of what happened. The movement of an instant – the one happening before our eyes – mixes with the memory of that moment that is generated as we watch. By drawing on the suggestive potential of audio description, Nicole Seiler delivers a thoughtful performance that harnesses the power of evocation and enlivens the spectators’ imaginations.
