Meg Stuart transforms dance and music into a group portrait

In 2018, Meg Stuart was honored with the Golden Lion for 'Lifetime Achievement' at the Venice Biennale. She was recognized for her innovative work in dance and theater, weaving together various disciplines. With 'GLITCH WITCH,' she explores new boundaries, this time with Dance On Ensemble dancer Omagbitse Omagbemi and Japanese sound artist Mieko Suzuki.

Meg Stuart has always seen her own body as a laboratory. By dancing in her own performances, she intuitively dismantles the choreographic principles she seeks to express. Her initially raw, physical dance possesses a subdued care and attention to detail.

By playing with this apparent contradiction, the artists collectively search for a shared language. They build, transform, and move towards a group portrait.
