When are we here? Where are we going? From a longing to let go and let presence go - to falling in love with not being able to distinguish what is real, simulated or imagined.

IThose Who Shimmer Nicole Neidert builds a stage work that takes its starting point in states of mind where presence is thrown off balance. Through sharp contrasts, between the pompous and the stripped-down, the audience is invited into an atmospheric stage space. Here Neidert approaches different types of pressures, collapses and densities - hollows - in the spatial, physical and sensual. 

 With moods that relate to each other in opposition - the poetic and the clinical, the misty and the crisp, the Those Who Shimmer  after a human presence with staged fantasies and dances, oscillating in and out of consciousness like a hypnotic state. 

 As a starting point for the work Those Who Shimmer Nicole Neidert has taken an interest in group hypnosis, watching video documentaries with both fascination and scepticism. She also studied the movements of the groups during the hypnotic states, and was interested in the choreographic aspect of hypnosis.   

Hypnosis (from the Greek ὕπνος (hýpnos), "sleep") is a state of transition between wakefulness and sleep, characterised by relaxation, imagination, openness to suggestion and a strong focus, and the method of achieving this state.

In co-production with Dansens Hus.

After-call 22/11

Choreographer Nicole Neidert in conversation with Linda Adami dancer and dramaturge.

The new "Those who shimmer" is full of details that sometimes remind us of how to move under hypnosis.

The work is most beautiful, most shimmering, when the dancers, from an almost stationary but slowly swaying position, begin to swing their arms faster and faster before fading into the darkness.

-SvD

It is as if the choreographic material relies as much on the sensual body as it does on the performance itself. The result is a presence that can be as meditative as it is intense in every moment and detail.
