Watch an interview with Sasha Waltz.
The first work in her triptych, Körper (Body), portrayed the human anatomy and physique, the following with the title S, examined the origin of life, Eros and sensuality. noBody portrays the human metaphysical dimensions, takes up feelings associated with our mortality and poses the question: What is the immortal in us? In noBody, Waltz and the dancers seek through the body to highlight the spiritual and non-physical.
The body is our cathedral, a bundle or a cocoon, drum or ringing bell. The title noBody means both “no body” and “nobody”. And nobody is completely alone in this dance work where the dancers move in magically, smoothly flowing formations and complex patterns in an awe-inspiring, evocative scenography. Sorrow and seeking divides and unites. When noBody put on a guest performance in Stockholm, one of several enthusiastic reviewers wrote: “ … (noBody) affects very strongly in its simple poetic finesse and imagination. Contours dissolve, the spirit takes flight.” The work can also be seen as a tribute to our ability to hold on to something deeply human within each and every one of us - together. Whereupon the idea of reincarnation runs like an angel through the room.
