Voice of Power

The voice of power dominates a stadium-like space, sending rules, orders, and instructions into the area. The performers exist within this space of power and thematize their personal freedom and the threats it faces through performative means.

In her new piece created for this year’s Steirischer Herbst festival in Graz, themed “people and demons,” choreographer Adrienn Hód examines how the increasingly strict rules, moral, and social norms of our time affect our physical reality. Hód’s darkly humorous choreographic language, accompanied by the experimental church musician Zoltán Mizsei’s sound, uncompromisingly reflects a society increasingly torn apart by the unavoidable subjugation to all-powerful figures of authority.
