Polyvision brings together dance, video projections, and live music in a play of sound, color, and movement. It draws on Bauhaus ideas that the Ensemble für Intuitive Musik Weimar has explored since 1986. Abstract color patterns meet images of the real world, creating shifting spaces between microcosm and macrocosm. Dressed in white, dancer Hans-Georg Lenhart moves within them. His body receives the projections, disappears into them, and reemerges. Together with the ensemble’s music, dance, image, and sound transform one another, leaving room for the audience’s imagination.
