[theatre/dance/performance] Matjaž Farič - The Politics of Dancing (PTL Ljubljana)

The crown sequence of this mostly contemporary dance performance must surely be the one where three young dancers, one male and two female, enchantingly disintegrate a part of a classical music history - Invitation to Valse by the robust and noble romantic Carl Maria von Weber. There they follow the movement accuracy and freshness which is somewhat characteristic for Farič's choreography work in general, yet they immerse themselves into the action so deeply that it makes the main concept of the performance shine out in an irrational and organic way. Some other conceptual aspects of the performance seem to be a little less inspiring and more illustrational, the choreographic work, however, is clearly seen and very well executed.
