She wonders whether the body is just a ‘container’ or rather an instrument to convey our feelings and emotions. S presents the human body as an erotic object consumed with passion. noBody asks about metaphysical existence, bodiless life, the attitude toward death, a desire for immortality, and whether it is possible to represent the immortal. Staged in Berlin’s Schaubühne theatre, the Körper, S and noBody trilogy cemented Sasha Waltz’s position as one of the most prominent artists in contemporary dance theatre. Thu 29 March, 6pm Sasha Waltz: Garden of Earthly Delight Documentary; directed by Brigitte Kramer and Jörg Jeshel; ARTE/ZDF, 2006; 60’The film features interviews with Sasha Waltz and her company members interspersed with footage of her brilliant choreographies filmed during rehearsals and performances.
