Longing to Suspend
„Longing to Suspend“ is a response to the Archiv der Avantgraden – Egidio Marzona, its outstanding collection, its unique architecture as well as its second exhibition „Building Worlds. Visionary Architecture in the 20th Century“. Settled between dance and performance, „Longing to Suspend“ is a contemplation on topics like the archiving of the self, the body as an archive, and the archive as a living entity. For „Longing to Suspend“ Nitsan Margaliot collaborates with Tamar Sonn (dramaturgy, choreographic assistance), Antoine Mermet (sound design, composition), and Kaur Hensel (costume design).
As part of a fellowship in cooperation with HELLERAU, in 2023, Nitsan Margaliot has researched topics like dance, performance, queerness and Fluxus in the collection of the ADA.
The piece brings together archival as well as personal text, footage, and songs; as the audience is invited to join on a journey that collages uncanny materials into a rich and unpredictable landscape.
