Contemporary dance combines with bird’s nest masks for a political, controversial and critically acclaimed dance work by Israeli choreographer Idan Cohen.
Driven by the sound of W. A. Mozart’s solo Piano Sonatas, Mad Siren follows the metamorphosis of a group of performers as they devote themselves and transform from passive listeners of the famous 18th-century melodies into the very essence of the music itself.
Depicting a constant territorial fight in search of a refuge and a home, the piece evokes images of nesting and immigration, while raising questions regarding the nature of fear and our lack of understanding toward what is different.
Within this musical and metaphorical bird’s nest, we ask: What are the boundaries between the tangible body and the abstract music? Where does the movement originate, and where does it end?
