4: STILL LIFE is a court dance, a mating dance, a play, a ‘Lichtspiel’, a ritual. Choreographer Nicole Beutler drew inspiration from the early twentieth-century Bauhaus movement for this ‘mechanical ballet’ dance duet. She worked in close collaboration with the dancers, and with light and space designer Minna Tiikkainen and composer Gary Shepherd. idea, choreography | Nicole Beutler made in collaboration with dancers | Marjolein Vogels, Benjamin Kahn second cast | Marlinde Vos, Maurizio Giunti (2013), Rob Polmann (2019) choreographic assistant, repetitor | Hillary Blake Firestone, Inge van Huijkelom lighting design | Minna Tiikkainen music composition | Gary Shepherd stage | Minna Tiikkainen, Nicole Beutler set-building | Eric Loze, Martin Kaffarnik, Theater Malpertuis costumes | Jessica Helbach dramaturgy | Felix Ritter artistic advice | Piet Arfeuille technique | Martin Kaffarnik, Rik Teunis (2013), Wim Loobuyck (2013) thanks to | Hester van Hasselt, Djahan Manuela Mazhari, Hans Vos, Dorothee Wortelboer, Martin Butler supported by | fabrik Potsdam (DE), Dampfzentrale Bern (CH), Frascati Amsterdam (NL) Production: Nicole Beutler Projects (NL) Co-production: Theater Malpertuis (BE)
