Living Shapes

Interactive performance in which two dancers interact with projections inspired by the drawings of Huber Hoffman, creating a bridge between graphic signs and bodily movement — 2020

The drawings, sketches and building plans by Hubert Hoffmann are the inspiration for a full-length dance piece by the Italian choreographer Valentina Moar. The works of the Styrian Bauhaus student and star architect have not only had a lasting impact on the cityscape of Graz, but are also full of lines of movement, which Moar develops and implements rhythmically as living forms. Media artist Paolo Scoppola is responsible for a visual-interactive connection between dance, the architecture of Hubert Hoffmann and Bauhaus.
