The100Hands / Dansstationens Turnékompani / Danse Hallerne
Music for a dance piece by Jasper Džuki Jelen and Mojra Vogelnik Škerlj. A playful piece made with and for school gym halls the music is made almost entirely of sampled and manipulated sounds of the gym mats themselves.
The music & soundscape for Matta Matta 2.0 (by VRUM) has been nominated for the STELLA*24 prize for outstanding achievements in the field of performing arts for young audiences in Austria.
About
A dance performance that doesn’t stay on the dance floor.
It is sport and it is dance.
It is square but still bendy.
It is exhaustion and rest – jump and then land, fall and then stand up again.
Matta Matta is a piece about security and daring to take a risk.
The dancers get lost in a landscape of gym mats. The audience gets to be up close and is welcome to take a peak inside with both nose and toes.
Matta Matta is a show for children, young people and adults aged 6 and up. The performance is created for Dansstationens Tournékompani for a tour in gymnasiums.
The100Hands, based in Breda The Netherlands, is led by Mojra Vogelnik Škerlj and Jasper Džuki Jelen. Working from dance, architecture and psychology, they make physical, interactive performances, in which connection (or lack thereof) is central: connection with yourself, with the other and with the environment.
