Affi

“Äffi”, one of the most successful international creations by Marco Goecke, was included in the repertoire of the Scapino Ballet of Rotterdam in 2006. and it was performed by Tadayoshi Kokeguchi in 2006 in Istanbul and in 2008 in New York. Although Arman Zazyan, Damiano Pettenella, William Moore, David Moore, Robert Robinson, Mischa van Leuvenand – until now the only woman- Katja Wünsche have studied the solo, the most memorable performance is the one of the remarkable Marijn Rademaker, protagonist of the debut that in 2006 earned him the prestigious German theater award “Der Faust” (“The Fist”) as “Best Dance Performer”, given for the first time that year.

Spellbound Contemporary Ballet is the only Italian company to have this creation in its repertoire. Although Goeck’s gestures are based on the structure of the classical technique they are strongly combined with expressions from the German tanztheater: “The inspiration for my work is anguish, it can become a source of hope. Making anguish visible and tangible so as to transform it into beauty” says Goecke in the revealing documentary A fleur de peau, made by Manon Lichtveld and Bas Westerhof, where the artist reveals to us his passion for theatre discovered at 14, his panic attacks which began at a young age and the wonder of creation. “To slip out of our body, to escape our own limits is what I try to do wiith the fast movements of my expression” explains the artist.
