The Ensemble for Intuitive Music Weimar has been exploring synaesthetic concepts since 1986, drawing on traditions from the Bauhaus era. A key inspiration came from encounters with Kurt Schmidt and Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, who premiered the Mechanical Ballet during the 1923 Bauhaus Week at the Jena Theater. Colored geometric figures, moved by dancers hidden behind them, created a choreography that unfolded as a living visual composition in the spirit of abstract painting.
Special attention was also given to the visions of Bauhaus master László Moholy-Nagy, who as early as the mid-1920s sought a synthesis of form, movement, sound, light, and color. He searched for connecting links between these elements to generate something new from their interplay.
This is the point of departure for the POLYVISON project, which harnesses the technical possibilities of our time to bring together music, multidimensional projection, and expressive dance. It creates an equal interplay between abstract structures of sound, color, and movement, interweaving on multiple levels.
The audience experiences mysterious structures between micro- and macrocosm, merging with images of the real world. A dancer, dressed entirely in white, performs within the ever-changing projection space. He becomes an integral part of the stage design, vanishing into the color structures, transforming into pure movement without physical form…
A Gesamtkunstwerk that seeks to uniquely stimulate the imagination of the audience and build bridges through immersive experience.
