The100Hands / Dansstationens Turnékompani
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.
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.
Two 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.
The 100Hands consists of Jasper Džuki Jelen and Mojra Vogelnik Škerlj, both from Slovenia and active in the Netherlands. Together they create dance performances both for stages and for different specific places and rooms.
